Ciborium design, materials and dimensions

Made of brass with a gold-plated finish, the vessel has a diameter of 5.5 in (14 cm). Its smooth, glossy surface reflects light beautifully, giving it a dignified, formal appearance. The combination of durable brass, gold-plated finish, and carefully executed decorative details allows it to harmonize with the other liturgical furnishings.

The wide, deep bowl has a gently rounded shape and provides convenient space for a larger number of hosts. The fitted lid is topped with a decorative cross, emphasizing the vessel's sacred and Eucharistic purpose.

A distinctive element is the decorative nodus beneath the bowl, marked by pronounced vertical grooves with an irregular texture. The richly ornamented base forms an elegant contrast with the vessel's smooth, gold-plated surface, giving the whole ciborium a distinctive character. The nodus also provides stable support, making it easy to place the ciborium on the altar or in the tabernacle.

Its 5.5 in (14 cm) diameter provides adequate room for hosts, making the ciborium suitable for both daily celebrations and larger church ceremonies.
