The medieval form of a wide shallow cup on a short stem with a spreading foot was the usual style of the 19th-century chalice.<br><br><b>People</b><br>The Reverend Wagner, who ordered this chalice, promoted the revival of Medieval Church ritual which was highly controversial in the Anglican Church. His outspoken views brought him into conflict with church authorities. St. Paul's church, Brighton, where Reverend Wagner was priest in charge, was built under the patronage of his father. It was here that the chalice was used. It was designed by the architect G.E. Street (1824-1881) and made in Birmingham by John Hardman and Company.<br><br><b>Trading</b><br>The chalice was not designed exclusively for St. Paul's church, Brighton and the design was offered to other clients of  the manufacturers, John Hardman and Company. A chalice made by the firm for All Saints church, Bristol in 1868 is identical in appearance. The architect G.E. Street modified the design later for another silversmith, Barkentin and Krall. Frank Theodore, whilst apprenticed to Barkentin and Krall, made a copy of G.E. Street's drawing and presented it to the V&A Museum.","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Street, George Edmund","id":"A8894"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"x36960"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"John Hardman & Co.","id":"A9144"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver, with niello decoration","categories":[],"styles":[{"text":"Gothic revival","id":"AAT21452"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2022NF5236","2024NX1813","2024NX1812","2006AN9525"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"122E (VA)","id":"THES49221"},"free":"","case":"CA8","shelf":"","box":"14"},{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES404524"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Chalice","id":""}],[{"text":"Paten","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Birmingham","id":"x28748"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1868-1869","earliest":"1868-01-01","latest":"1869-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Saint Paul's Church, Brighton","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"25","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"17","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions checked: Measured; 26/01/1999 by sf","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"The translated inscription reads 'I will take this chalice of salvation and will call upon the name of the Lord'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":"A8877"},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"Designed by George Edmund Street (born in Woodford, Essex,1824, died in London,1881); made by John Hardman & Co., Birmingham","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Chalice, silver with niello decoration, Birmingham, 1868-1869, made by John Hardman and Co., designed by G.E.
