A classic C.15th/16th chalice of grand proportions, built on a sexfoil base with encroaching ivy, and it's fluted column set with six red and black Austrian crystal 'poison ivy berries'. Inscriptive band around the cup reads 'One Poison Drives Another Out'.
The chalice is associated with the female forces in the universe: fertility, beauty, the womb, earth, emotion, love, compassion, receptivity, instinct, intuition and the subconscious mind. It is the receptacle of spiritual forces and is associated with the element of water. Held upright, the cup is the open womb, ready to receive. Held inverted, it symbolizes birth and realization.
Made in England from the finest quality pewter and supplied in a black presentation box with gold lettering. Austrian crystal on front.
