This silver Communion cup, crafted by Dirk Wor in 1736, is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch silverwork. The cup's elaborate ornamentation, including a central coat of arms surrounded by intricate floral designs, reflects the Rococo style popular at the time. Its small size, 20.5 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter, suggests it was intended for individual use during religious ceremonies.
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.
