This silver plate, crafted in 1736 by Dirk Wor, features an intricate design. The center showcases a heraldic crest, a common motif in silverwork during the Baroque period. Surrounding the crest, the plate is adorned with a raised border composed of stylized floral and shell motifs, showcasing the refined craftsmanship of the era. This piece exemplifies the skilled artistry of silversmiths in the 18th century, where religious symbolism and decorative elements combined to create objects both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Comments
Central to the Protestant celebration of the Holy Communion is the remembrance of the Last Supper, when Christ and his disciples gathered for the last time. Christ asked that his suffering and death be commemorated with a communal meal. This is why wine is poured into cups and bread is placed on plates during religious services. This communion set from Dordrecht ranks among the most richly decorated altar plate.
