These chalices were purchased by the current owner in the city of Montreal in the 1960s. According to the seller … more These chalices were purchased by the current owner in the city of Montreal in the 1960s. According to the seller at that time, the oral history these one-of-a-kind finely etched and handmade chalices date back to early years of the Notre-Dame Church (the primary construction took place between 1824 and 1829). The cornerstone was laid at Place d'Armes on September 1, 1824. The sanctuary was finished in 1830, and the first tower in 1841, the second in 1843. O'Donnell designed the towers to be traditionally Gothic, and intended for them to be seen from any point in the city. Following O'Donnell's death, John Ostell, an English-born architect, finished the towers according to O'Donnell's original plans. Upon completion, the church was the largest in North America, and remained so for over fifty years.

The chalices have a substantial weight at 1.15 pounds each, a volume of approximately 2 3/4 cups, a height roughly of 9 3/8 inches, a bottom/base dimention of 4 inches and a width at the top rim of roughly 4 5/16 inches. The hand etchings are highly detailed, including thistles (In Christianity, the thistle is often associated with the suffering of Christ. According to legend, the crown of thorns that was placed on Jesus' head during the crucifixion was made from thistle branches), a hand holding a goblet, the word "Fiat" (which is often translated to mean “let it be done,” an an eight-pointed star surrounded by oak leaves and acorns (the 8-pointed star that represents rebirth or resurrection. It is sometimes called the Star of Redemption or the Star of Bethlehem, and is associated with the birth of Jesus Christ). The oak leaves and acorns sympolize power, authority or victory.
