Chalice 1810 - 1856

"Chalice" is a pewter chalice by American silversmith Israel Trask, active from 1810 to 1856. Made in the early 19th century, the piece exemplifies the craftsmanship of the time, featuring a simple yet elegant design. The chalice is currently part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Its modest size, standing at 5 3/4 inches tall, makes it an intimate and delicate object, suitable for both religious and secular purposes.
