Chalice

Johann Christoph Heyne American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704

With its tall baluster stem and convex moldings, this chalice displays the elegant proportions of the Baroque style. It bears the mark of the German-born Moravian minister and pewterer Johann Christoph Heyne, whose chalices and other church vessels are among the finest examples of liturgical pewter made in eighteenth-century America. They were supplied primarily to Lutheran and Moravian churches in south central Pennsylvania.

Chalice, Johann Christoph Heyne (1715–1781), Pewter, American
