Chalice

Hungarian

Not on view

The Latin inscription on the bowl identifies the owner as John Benedict of Breslau. Around 1462 he was preaching in the city of Kassa in Upper Hungary, where this chalice was presumably made. The goldsmith technique of using filigree and enamel originated in Italy and was adopted elsewhere.
