Molina 2948 – Twelve Apostles Chalice & Dish Paten
Beautifully handcrafted in Spain, the Molina 2948 Twelve Apostles Chalice combines traditional Catholic symbolism with elegant silver-plated metalwork and finely executed hand engraving. Featuring detailed representations of the Twelve Apostles, each identified by name, this distinguished sacred vessel offers a beautiful and meaningful design for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
The chalice's defining feature is its series of hand-engraved images of the Twelve Apostles, displayed around the exterior of the cup. Each Apostle is individually represented and identified, creating a powerful visual tribute to the foundations of the Catholic Church and the men entrusted by Christ with proclaiming the Gospel.
The intricate engraving is complemented by a beautiful silver-plated exterior, giving the chalice a refined appearance that emphasizes the religious artwork without excessive ornamentation.
The chalice features a 24-karat gold-lined interior, providing a beautiful precious-metal surface for the celebration of Mass. Its traditional proportions, carefully finished metalwork, and 16-ounce capacity make it an excellent choice for regular parish liturgies and special celebrations.
Manufactured by Molina Artistic Silver of Spain, the 2948 reflects the company's longstanding tradition of fine European silversmithing and exceptional ecclesiastical craftsmanship.
The chalice is available in two construction options: silver-plated brass or silver-plated brass with a sterling silver inner cup. Both versions retain the same distinctive Twelve Apostles engraving and gold-lined interior.
A coordinating 6¼-inch dish paten is included, completing this beautiful sacred vessel set.
For parishes seeking coordinated liturgical furnishings, matching covered and open ciboria are also available separately.
Whether selected for a parish church, chapel, religious community, or as a meaningful gift commemorating a priestly ordination or anniversary, the Molina 2948 combines sacred symbolism, traditional beauty, and enduring craftsmanship.
