7274 Tassilo Monstrance

The origin of this famous chalice can be traced back to the Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria, Germany,VIII Century. It is one of the most important treasures of this era even though it was not known of until the 11th or 12th Century. It is the symbol of the wedding between the Duke TassiloIII, from the Agilolfing dynasty that governed Bavariaand Liutpirc, the daughter of the Lombardian KingDesiderius, and was presented by them in 777 to theMonastery of Kremsm ünster (Germany) where it is still preserved today.

The only modification to this original chalice is the fact that the wording on the base from the original Tassilochalice (+ TASSILO DVX FORTIS + LIUTPIRC VIRGAREGALIS +) has been changed to the Latin text PERIPSUM CUM IPSO IN IPSO + meaning FOR HIM WITH HIM IN HIM +, of important meaning in liturgy, thus making our version more appropriate for its use in a liturgical catholic service. Our chalice is also slightly smaller in size, making it easier to use during the services than the original of considerably larger dimensions. The design and style of the figures present on our chalice are sensibly more refined and symmetrical than those of the original, of a more primitive design.
