Molina #5420 Hand-Hammered Chalice & Paten – Pope Francis Collection
Elegant Hand-Hammered Craftsmanship with a Distinctive Black Accent Node
The Molina #5420 Chalice & Paten is a striking example of contemporary ecclesiastical craftsmanship, combining traditional Spanish silversmithing techniques with graceful proportions and a distinctive modern appearance.
Part of Molina's distinguished Pope Francis Collection, this handcrafted chalice features beautifully textured metalwork, elegant lines, and a contrasting black acrylic node that creates a sophisticated balance between traditional liturgical artistry and contemporary design.
The defining characteristic of the #5420 is its delicate hand-hammered texture, enhanced by a lightly oxidized finish that brings depth and character to the metalwork. The subtle variations in the hammered surface catch and reflect light, creating an elegant visual contrast with the chalice's smoothly polished cup.
At the center of the stem is a prominent black acrylic node, adding a striking visual accent and providing a comfortable point of contact when handling the vessel during the celebration of Mass. The dark node contrasts beautifully with the surrounding metal, giving this chalice a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from more traditionally ornamented designs.
The broad, gracefully shaped base provides visual balance and stability, while the generously proportioned cup offers a practical capacity for parish celebrations and solemn liturgies.
Constructed of quality brass, the chalice is available in your choice of 24K gold-plated or silver-plated finishes, allowing it to coordinate with existing sanctuary metalware and other vessels from Molina's Pope Francis Collection.
Standing 7-7/8" high with a 4-1/8" diameter cup, the #5420 holds approximately 17 ounces and includes a matching 5-3/4" diameter scale paten, completing an elegant set for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
Whether selected for regular parish use, a newly renovated sanctuary, or as a special gift for a priest's ordination or anniversary, the Molina #5420 offers a beautiful combination of distinctive styling, quality materials, and fine European craftsmanship.

The Tradition of Molina Sacred Metalwork
Molina has been recognized for its dedication to fine ecclesiastical metalwork since 1939. From its workshops in the Madrid region of Spain, the company continues a longstanding tradition of European silversmithing, producing chalices, ciboria, monstrances, and other sacred vessels for churches throughout the world.
The company's artisans combine traditional techniques, including hand-hammering, engraving, chiseling, and meticulous polishing, with carefully considered designs that honor the sacred purpose of each vessel.
The #5420 Chalice reflects this tradition through its distinctive hammered texture, refined proportions, and contrasting black node. Its design offers an appealing alternative to heavily ornamented Gothic and Baroque chalices while retaining the beauty and craftsmanship associated with fine European liturgical metalware.
