Molina #5416 Hand-Chiseled Covered Ciborium – Pope Francis Collection
Traditional Gothic Elegance and Fine Spanish Craftsmanship
The Molina #5416 Covered Ciborium is a beautiful example of traditional European ecclesiastical metalwork, combining elegant Gothic-inspired styling, refined proportions, and the artistry of fine Spanish silversmithing.
Part of Molina's distinguished Pope Francis Collection, this handcrafted ciborium features decorative rope-inspired ornamentation coordinated with the matching #5415 Chalice and #5417 Open Ciborium. Its carefully balanced silhouette and polished metalwork create a dignified sacred vessel suitable for both traditional and contemporary church sanctuaries.
The ciborium features a generously proportioned cup supported by an elegantly shaped stem and a broad pedestal base. Hand-chiseled decorative detailing introduces texture and visual depth, creating an attractive contrast with the smooth, reflective surfaces.
A coordinating removable lid completes the vessel, providing a traditional covered ciborium suitable for both the distribution and reservation of the Holy Eucharist.
Measuring 8-7/8" high with a 4-5/8" diameter cup, the Molina #5416 accommodates approximately 200 standard communion hosts. Its practical capacity and graceful design make it an excellent choice for parish churches, chapels, religious communities, and other liturgical settings.
Constructed of quality brass, the ciborium is offered in your choice of gold-plated or silver-plated finishes, allowing it to coordinate beautifully with existing altar appointments or with the other sacred vessels in Molina's Pope Francis Collection.
