A fascinating object, probably from the transportable gear of a cleric’s baggage, used perhaps in administering the sacraments to a home-bound believer. The two halves, stem and bowl, are threaded to be assembled alternately in its useable or transportable form.

Probably French, ca. 1800

Height: 4”; Diameter at rim: 2”

Price: $95
