Priests were often depicted on monumental brasses in Eucharistic vestments with their chalices.
The double-handled blue-glass vase in the British Museum,dating from the 5th century, is probably a chalice, as it closely resembles the chalices represented on early Christian monuments.
I hope we will be able to have the new chalices available for Christmas.
It is sometimes commented that there are so few relics of communion chalices from early Celtic times.
Unlike the Yorkshire style of chalices, those in Norfolk and Suffolk are invariably depicted with a wafer.
