label: Description
content: Design for a ciborium and incense burner, and a small cup, in metal. The ciborium on the left has a cross on top of its arched lid, which is decorated with lancet leaves, while the bowl of the vessel features oak leaves. The ciborium has a tall column, which is fluted and draped with garland, while the foot is ornamented with bound flowers and leaves. The incense burner at right is ornamented with floral, spiral fluting, bead course, lancet leaf, and gadrooning decoration. Between the ciborium and incense burner is a shallow bowl (likely a paten, used, along with the ciborium, to carry the host of the eucharist), whose lancet leaf pattern mirrors that of the lid of the ciborium and the base of the incense burner. The plate is signed and numbered.
