Description
Comprised of two small vessels, this cruet set was intended solely for the rituals of Roman Catholic Church performed in the Mass. These cruets are typically comprised of glass,but this special set is silver gilt. Each vessel would have been marked with a "V" and "A" to indicate wine (vinum) and water (agua), the two liquids mixed during the celebration of the Eucharist. These pieces have been conserved.
