Molina 2736 – The Bavarian Hand-Hammered Chalice & Bowl Paten

Beautifully handcrafted in Spain, the Molina 2736 "The Bavarian" Chalice combines historic European inspiration with traditional hand-hammered metalwork and a magnificent 24-karat gold-plated finish. Inspired by the celebrated Tassilo chalice, this distinguished sacred vessel offers a timeless design for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

The Molina 2736 is characterized by its elegantly proportioned cup, traditional central node, and beautifully formed base. Its hand-hammered finish extends throughout the chalice, creating a richly textured surface that reflects light and emphasizes the skill of Molina's master silversmiths.

Unlike chalices featuring elaborate sculptural reliefs or gemstone ornamentation, The Bavarian draws its beauty from the simplicity of its design, balanced proportions, and the subtle variations created by traditional hand-hammering techniques.

Inspired by the Historic Tassilo Chalice

The design of the Molina 2736 takes inspiration from the historic Tassilo chalice, one of the most celebrated surviving examples of early medieval European ecclesiastical metalwork.

Associated with Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria and dating to the eighth century, the original chalice is renowned for its historical significance and distinctive craftsmanship.

Molina's Bavarian interpretation embraces this traditional European influence while offering a refined, practical vessel suitable for modern Catholic liturgical celebrations.

Traditional Hand-Hammered Craftsmanship

The chalice features a beautifully executed hand-hammered texture that extends across the cup, stem, and base, creating a cohesive and elegant appearance.

Finished entirely in 24-karat gold plating, the chalice displays a warm, brilliant surface that highlights the carefully worked metal.

The traditional central node provides a comfortable point of handling, while the broad base creates a balanced and dignified silhouette.

Manufactured by Molina Artistic Silver of Spain, the 2736 reflects the company's longstanding tradition of exceptional European silversmithing and fine liturgical craftsmanship.

Standing 7⅛ inches tall, with a 4¼-inch cup diameter and 18-ounce capacity, The Bavarian is an excellent choice for parish churches, chapels, religious communities, and priests seeking a traditional yet elegantly understated sacred vessel.

A coordinating 6½-inch bowl paten is included, completing this beautiful chalice and paten set.
