A small silver and vermeil ciborium with a gilt copper foot, silver weight: 130 g A rare and refined small ciborium, featuring a silver cup and lid raised on a gilt copper foot. The hemispherical cup is fitted with a domed lid surmounted by a cross finial. The baluster-shaped gilt-copper stem and foot display a beautiful aged patina, reflecting their authenticity and liturgical use. The contrast between the restrained brilliance of the silver and the warm tones of the gilt copper enhances the aesthetic harmony of the piece. An engraved inscription dated 1806 appears beneath the foot, likely added later, commemorating a donation or gift.
