Description

Chalice. Spain (possibly La Rioja), early 18th century. Punched silver. Weight: 886 grams. With engraved marks of the silversmith and locality on the base. It has the inscription: "It is for Our Lady of Dabalillo (sic)". Measurements: 26 x 16 x 16 cm. Chalice made entirely in quality silver, within a late Baroque style, specifically following the criteria of the refined Baroque, based on the expression of the structure, limiting the ornamentation to the slender turned foot, the stepped base and the cup with molding. The knot starts from the shape of the classic vessel typical of the Baroque chalice, but nevertheless its profile begins to take a winding path, moving towards what will be the knot par excellence of the Rococo: the inverted pear. During the 18th century, Spain followed the precepts of the Counter-Reformation, which influenced the production of liturgical objects of great splendor and symbolism to reinforce the Catholic faith. The Catholic Church promoted the use of high quality art and liturgical objects to inspire devotion and glorify Eucharistic rituals. Most of these chalices are made of silver, and goldsmithing techniques including embossing, chiseling and engraving are employed.
