Asset Overview

The chalice has a circular foot with a small flange with a wavy pattern and three straight sections. The slope of the foot has two folds and is covered with floral patterns as well as Regency ornament and palmette shells. The stem of the foot has a bulging shape. The stem is like that of a candelabrum with a vase-like, fluted nodus enclosed in two hexagonal rings. The cup is slender with an everted edge. It is placed in an openwork basket made of floral and Regency ornaments and palmette shells. It is one of the few historical works of gold that remained in Tyniec after the dissolution of the monastery. 1st quarter of the 18th century, Kraków Museum of the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec
