Two-Tone Ciborium in 24K Gold and Oxidized Silver for Parish and Sanctuary Use
The Koley's Inc. K-914 Ciborium is a premium liturgical vessel designed to reserve and distribute the Blessed Sacrament with dignity and beauty. Sharing the same two-tone design language as the K-913 Chalice, the K-914 pairs 24K gold-plated accents with oxidized silver surfaces finished in a rich hammered (granulation) texture. The ciborium stands 8-1/2 inches tall with a 4-5/8" diameter cup and a 250-host capacity, making it well suited for parish Mass, large congregations, and tabernacle reservation. The lid is crowned with a gold-plated dove finial -- a traditional symbol of the Holy Spirit -- and features scrollwork engraving on the lid rim band. The gold-plated band at the cup/lid junction, the double-ringed node, and the scrollwork-engraved base rim complete a design that is both classically rooted and visually cohesive.
The 4-inch base provides a stable, dignified presence on the altar or in the tabernacle, and the 250-host capacity makes the K-914 a practical choice for parishes of all sizes. Paired with the K-913 Chalice, it forms a matched set of exceptional quality for the sanctuary.
