Chalice & Paten made in Birmingham, England, in 1876, by the Victorian Silversmith John Hardman & Co, who was well known for his work with Pugin.

The Chalice is elaborately set with gem stones throughout the base & stem. The stones include turquoise, amber, amethyst and pearl amongst others.

The circular stem has a large hexafoil knop. This is set with six circles, each finished with different coloured gem stones, with a small turquoise between.
The lower part of the stem has rings of stones towards the base.

The matching well Paten is in solid silver gilt and fits the Chalice well. The Paten is entirely gilded all over.
