The Coronation Chalice with IHS Paten and Case is an exclusive design and manufactured using only the highest quality materials. Each piece is crafted of lead-free, 100% food safe brass and then 24kt gold plated. The cup, base and node are all ornately decorated while the paten is engraved with the letters "IHS". The set comes shipped with a leather carrying case that comfortably holds both pieces.
IHS is an ancient monogram formed from the first three letters —Iota, Eta and Sigma—of the Greek word for Jesus: IHSOUS. The letters also represent the phrase Iesous Hominum Salvator: Jesus, savior of man.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning & Polishing
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry cotton or microfiber cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use mild soap with lukewarm water; rinse and dry immediately.
- Occasionally polish with a soft silver-polishing cloth to restore shine.
- Never use abrasive pads, harsh polishes, or chemical cleaners.
Tarnish Prevention
- Tarnish is natural over time; minimize it by storing items in an anti-tarnish cloth or airtight box.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to air, humidity, or direct sunlight.
- Do not leave liquids, food, or acidic substances on the surface for long.
Storage & Handling
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Wrap or place items separately to avoid scratches.
- Handle with clean, dry hands to prevent stains or dullness.
- For functional pieces (like trays or bowls), line with fabric or use liners to protect the plating.
Note: With gentle cleaning, mindful storage, and occasional polishing, your brassware item will retain its brilliance for years.
