This Communion Beaker, made in 1580 by Peter Petersen, is a silver vessel used by the Dutch Protestant Congregation in Norwich for the ritual of communion. The piece stands 17.1 cm tall and has a diameter of 9.4 cm, weighing 307 grams. Its simple, cylindrical form is typical of the period, with a flared mouth and a decorative base. This beaker is a fine example of silver craftsmanship from the late 16th century.
Comments
Reformed believers take a sip of wine from a beaker during the celebration of Communion. In their religious community this is the moment of interconnection and of the bond with Christ. This beaker was used during the services held at the Dutch Reformed Church in Norwich, an English textile town where thousands of Protestant refugees from the Netherlands lived.
