Plate 169: Communion Services, Trowels and Mallets - A Glimpse into Victorian Ecclesiastical Design Step back in time to the Victorian era with this image of communion services, featuring an intricately designed plate displaying a range of trowels and mallets. Dated circa 1880s, this metal plate, plated in nickel, showcases the ornate and historical nature of communion rituals during this period. Communion services, also known as the Eucharist or the Lord's Supper, are an essential part of Christian worship. The trowels and mallets depicted in this image were used during the ritual to prepare the elements of the sacrament - the bread and wine. The trowels, with their various shapes and sizes, were used to scoop the consecrated bread, or host, into the communicant's hands. The mallets, often adorned with fleur-de-lis or other decorative motifs, were used to gently tap the chalice or cup to ensure an even distribution of the wine. The communion plate in this image is a testament to the rich history and symbolism behind these ecclesiastical objects. The chalices and cups, which were traditionally made of silver, are shown in various shapes and sizes, reflecting the diversity of Christian denominations and their unique practices. The flagons, used to hold water or wine, are also depicted, adding to the comprehensive representation of the communion set. This plate, with its intricate design and historical significance, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian communion services and the ornate and symbolic objects that were an integral part of the mass or ritual. The fleur-de-lis, a popular decorative motif during this period, adds an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to the already impressive display.
