Aldo Zucchi Milano - Chalice - Silver, Brass

Golden 800 silver liturgical chalice – Aldo Zucchi, Milan – 1960s Elegant Italian liturgical chalice, cup in 800 silver, body in brass, entirely gold-plated, characterized by an essential and refined design typical of ecclesiastical production in the 1960s. The cup features a flared shape, perfectly balanced with a wide circular foot with a slightly stepped profile. The stem, with clean and modern lines, is embellished with a honey-colored translucent knot, an element that creates a pleasant contrast with the gold surface of the metal. On the rim of the cup the mark “800” and the punch of the silversmith 682 MI are clearly visible, referring to the Milanese manufactory of Aldo Zucchi, active in the second half of the 20th century. The piece can be roughly dated to the period 1963–1968. The surface retains a beautiful bright gilding, with light traces and micro-scratches compatible with age and use, well documented by the photographs. Overall the chalice is in excellent conservational condition, with a particularly elegant and sober line. Dimensions: height about 18 cm; cup diameter 9.3 cm; foot diameter 12.3 cm.
