Silver chalice (gilded inside), made within a late baroque style, specifically following the criteria of refined baroque or early neoclassicism, based on the expression of the structure, limiting the ornamentation to the slender foot and base. The classical aspect of baroque can be appreciated in the rhythmic moldings of the foot, with mixtilinear contours.
