Two-Tone Ciborium with Gold Cross Finial and Oxidized Silver Base for Parish and Sanctuary Use
The Koley's Inc. K-925 Ciborium is the companion vessel to the K-924 Chalice, sharing the same refined two-tone design of smooth 24K gold plating and oxidized silver. The cup and lid are fully gold-plated in a smooth, rounded bowl form, crowned with a gold-plated equal-arm (Greek) cross finial -- a traditional symbol of faith that marks the vessel as a sacred container for the Blessed Sacrament. An oxidized silver band at the lid/cup junction, a multi-ringed turned oxidized silver node and stem, and a broad 5-inch oxidized silver base with wheat sheaf relief engraving complete a design that is both classically rooted and visually cohesive with the K-924 Chalice.
Standing 8-3/4 inches tall with a 4-5/8" diameter cup and a 300-host capacity, the K-925 is well suited for parishes of all sizes, from intimate chapels to large congregations. The generous capacity and dignified design make it a practical and beautiful choice for both tabernacle reservation and distribution of Holy Communion at Mass.

Gold-Plated Greek Cross Finial: The lid is crowned with a gold-plated equal-arm cross, a traditional Christian symbol that marks the ciborium as a sacred vessel and adds a meaningful visual accent to the smooth gold lid.

Q: What does the cross finial on the lid represent?
A: The equal-arm (Greek) cross is one of the oldest Christian symbols, representing the faith and the redemptive work of Christ. Its use as a finial on a ciborium lid is a traditional liturgical practice that marks the vessel as a sacred container for the Blessed Sacrament.
