[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2438134, member: 5833"]The cup is a ciborium. Addendum: Is that the priest on the handle of the spoon? Or am I seeing a person where there is just decoration? Having grown up in the Protestant tradition, I had never seen a spoon used in a liturgical capacity. From what Wikipedia tells me, giving the communion wine in spoonfuls is a practice of the Eastern church; the Roman church uses a perforated spoon for a different purpose. Doubt the spoon was for Jesuit soup. A little mystery here. Just as a baseline on value, you would need to determine the quality of the silver.[/QUOTE]
