Molina 2848 – Grape & Leaf Chalice and Bowl Paten
Beautifully handcrafted in Spain, the Molina 2848 Grape & Leaf Chalice combines traditional Eucharistic symbolism with exceptional European silversmithing. Featuring deeply chased grapevine ornamentation, a distinctive polished black node, and a beautiful silver-plated exterior with a 24-karat gold-lined cup, this distinguished sacred vessel offers timeless beauty for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
The chalice's most striking feature is its richly decorated base, showcasing a deeply chased grape-and-leaf design. The intricate relief work depicts grape clusters and flowing vine leaves, creating a beautifully textured composition that contrasts with the smooth, polished surfaces of the cup.
Grapes and vines have long been associated with the Holy Eucharist, recalling the wine consecrated into the Precious Blood of Christ during Mass. This traditional symbolism gives the chalice a meaningful connection to its sacred liturgical purpose.
Distinctive Polished Black Node
At the center of the chalice is an elegant highly polished black node, accented by a decorative beaded ring. The contrast between the dark, glossy node and the luminous silver-plated metalwork creates an exceptionally attractive appearance.
The node also provides a comfortable point of handling while enhancing the chalice's balanced proportions and traditional design.
Exceptional Spanish Craftsmanship
Manufactured by Molina Artistic Silver of Spain, the 2848 reflects the company's longstanding tradition of fine ecclesiastical metalwork and skilled European silversmithing.
The beautifully finished silver-plated exterior highlights the elaborate grapevine relief, while the 24-karat gold-lined interior provides an elegant precious-metal surface for the celebration of Mass.
Standing 6⅞ inches tall, with a 4¾-inch cup diameter and 20-ounce capacity, the Molina 2848 is a practical and distinguished choice for parish churches, chapels, religious communities, and priests.
A coordinating 6½-inch bowl paten is included, completing this beautiful sacred vessel set.
