Description
chalice and paten. The chalice, which stands ten inches high, has a plain bowl, decorated only with a calyx of vine foliage, and grapes, the leaves of silver and the fruit of tourmalines, rubies and amethysts. The upper part of the stem is an arcade with a plain dome, supported by silver columns in the round. The interstices are filled alternately with cloisonné enamels of the three Solder Saints (St George, St Alban and St Martin), surrounded by vine foliage and rose trees in gold, over a recessed background of crimson enamel. The columns are supported in silver branch brackets, each of which carries a precious stone. The base is dome shaped, and is surrounded by a chain of battlements, from which stand out four towers, bearing each a small amethyst as a dome. The towers are flanked by simple arched bridges connecting them, and undulating lines engraved beneath represent the waters of a river flowing under the arches. Each tower has on each side of it a tree, a vine on the left, and a rose on the right, in gold, growing out of small precious stones. The work was designed by Edward Spencer and made by Charles Moxey and Fred Job, of the Artificers Guild. On the paten is inscribed the nineteen names of the various units concerned with the gift, and the following Latin inscription: -
