functional in this place.
So Norman and romantic wine glasses as remains it is for the more in museums
now. They was "coffin usually chalices"--that is, they had been
buried in the coffin of some ecclesiastical. Of Gothic wine glasses, or
those of the period of Tudor, less they remain, for after the Reform,
a general order went out to he/she asked her, for all the "wine glasses to be
altered to decent cups of Communion." The form was greatly changed
in this change.
In the thirteenth century the taste worked rather to a chaster form
of decoration; the great cabochons of the romantic one, combined
with a gold surface it liquidates, it gave ornaments place refined in
niello and delicate enamels. The bowls of the more first wine glasses
it was rather dish and breadth. When it became usual for the laity to
you only participate of an element when communicating, the wine glass that
it was reserved alone for the clergy, you/he/she was changed for satisfying this
conditions and the bowl very it was smaller. After the Reform,
the development was completely however, in the other direction, the bowl
being extremely great and deep. In that period of theirs they were known
how cups of communion. In Sandwich it is a cup that was done on
out of a ciborium; as it rather clearly the shows its origin, is
he/she naively wrote: "This is a Communion is." When this change in
the form of the wine glass took place, you/he/she was offered, from admonition
of the archbishop, in all the cases with one "covered with silver... what
it will also serve for the assistance of the bread of Communion." To
uses this double of cover and satisfactory dish, a foot as
a stand was assistant to the paten.
The cup of communion of the Reform differed from the wine glass,
also, in the tallest and rightest being, with a deep bowl almost in
the proportions of an acrobat that it burns, and a stem with some closing
decorations instead of a knop. The small patens served as a cover
to the cup, as you/he/she has been mentioned.
