DescriptionEB1911 Plate - Elizabethan Chalice.jpg |
English: Elizabethan chalice. At the Reformation, the bowls of chalices, which in the previous two or three centuries had been slowly reduced in size, owing to the gradually introduced practice of refusing the wine to the laity, was suddenly made more capacious, and the form was altered to the shape shown in the figure, in order that the Protestant “communion
cup” might bear no resemblance to the old Catholic “massing chalice.” This was ordered to be done in 1562. |
