Neogothic style chalice made in silver, with a perfectly defined structure of polylobed foot, shaft with polygonal structure and goblet. The foot presents a mixtilinear profile, with curves, emphasising the differentiation of each of its parts, following an idea of clarity of structure that is repeated in the rest of the piece, organising it in horizontal strata. The shaft structure is made up of a lower reel, a central knot and a second smaller reel, all of these elements delimited by mouldings, emphasising the aforementioned organisation into strata. Finally, the rounded cup has a frieze in the centre, inside which is engraved an inscription and a cross.
