Silver Communion Cup

This Sterling Silver Communion Cup, hallmarked 1939, is a rare and historically significant piece, originally designed for use in Military field services. Compact yet elegantly crafted, this cup allowed chaplains and clergy to administer Holy Communion to soldiers and worshippers in remote or wartime settings.

Crafted from solid sterling silver, it features a practical yet reverent design—lightweight for portability yet durable enough for frequent use with gilded compartments for bread and wine. The cup bears clear hallmarks from 1939, confirming its authenticity and historical provenance. 

Designed for ease of transport, this field chalice is smaller than traditional communion vessels but retains the solemnity and grace of sacred liturgical items. Whether treasured as a historical artefact, used for worship, or displayed as a symbol of faith in challenging times, this communion cup carries a profound spiritual and historical legacy.

This antique 1939 field communion cup standing 10cm tall is more than a religious vessel—it is a testament to faith, resilience, and devotion in the face of adversity. Side grips worn but still highly functional, give testament to its use.
