Albert Edward Jones - Chalice - Vermeil, .925 silver - Liturgical chalice

Solid silver and vermeil chalice – A.E. Jones – Birmingham, 1940 English chalice in solid sterling silver 925/1000, crafted by silversmith Albert Edward Jones (A.E. Jones), a recognized figure of British silversmithing from the Arts & Crafts movement. The chalice presents a sober and balanced line: a wide flaring bowl with a gilded interior (vermeil), resting on a stem with a flattened knot and a broad circular slightly domed foot. A finely engraved cross on the foot underlines its liturgical purpose. The reverse of the foot bears a series of perfectly legible British hallmarks: A.E.J: master mark of Albert Edward Jones; Anchor: Birmingham Assay Office; Lion passant: Sterling silver law 925/1000; Date-letter: hallmark corresponding to the year 1940. A piece of English religious silverware of fine quality, interesting both for the reputation of its silversmith and for the sobriety of its design. Good overall condition, with a few light signs of use and micro-scratches consistent with its age. The interior gilding of the bowl is well preserved. The photos are an integral part of the object description and complete its presentation. They allow you to appreciate its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any commitment. The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery. Happy bidding
