ORDERING
Please call to order these items, 1-800-426-7687. It is possible that we will have available what you need in OTOE design (shown), but we are still building up an inventory. You may special-order, in any glaze, any piece that is not immediately available.
See Congregational Sets for glaze descriptions. |

This is the Pouring Chalice (Tipping Chalice.) Traditionally, the wine is blessed and then poured into separate small cups. A sensible alternative to the common cup. It is a bit taller than our regular chalice. Available with or without carved cross.
Height: approximately 8 1/4"
Price: $48.50 postpaid

This is the Ciborium communion vessel in Otoe glaze. We have had many requests for a chalice-shaped piece with cover, to contain the bread or wafers. The ciborium is usually used in combination with a chalice and paten. It is slightly larger than our chalice. Available with or without carved cross.
Height: approximately 10"
Price: $57.50 postpaid
Any of the container vessels can be used to bake the communion bread directly inside if desired.

This is our Host Box, in the Otoe pattern. It is a small covered dish with a simple cross on the handle base. An ideal shape for hand-carrying the bread or wafers.
Height: approximately 5 1/2"
Price: $40.00 postpaid

For church services or retreats, this one-piece Intinction Server offers convenience. The cup is permanently attached to the plate. The plate is the same size as our regular full-size paten, and the cup is the same as the chalice top, holding 10 to 12 oz.
Intinction Server One Width: approximately 9 1/2"
Price: $58.50 postpaid

Here is a second choice for occasions when a one-piece server is appropriate - a goblet style. The cup is permanently attached to the base. Hold and pass the vessel with just one hand. During nursing home services or other settings where keeping one hand free is desired, the one-piece intinction servers make things a little easier. This style cup will hold about 6 oz.
Intinction Server Two Height: approximately 5 1/2"
Price: $55.50 postpaid

These are two new alternatives for the standard paten. The larger is about 7 1/4" in diameter with raised sides, and the smaller is about 4 1/2". We are calling the larger one the "Dish-paten" because of the concave shape. The miniature paten has multiple uses. It was designed as a Chalice Cover, to rest on the top of our full-size chalice or the Intinction Servers, but can be used as a paten with the travel pottery as well. With a slightly raised rim, it can contain ashes or oil during special services. It is available with purchase of other communionware ONLY.
Dish-paten Width: approximately 7 1/4"
Price: $30.50 postpaid
--
Chalice Cover (Small Paten) Width: approximately 4 1/2"
Price (WITH ADD'L COMMUNIONWARE PURCHASE): $14.00

We are now offering a Candle Holder as a special order item. Many churches include candles on the communion table. This will hold a regular taper candle. (If you have any trouble fitting the base of various candles, just drip a little hot wax in the bottom before inserting the candle, for extra support.)
Width: approximately 5 1/4"
Price: $25.50 postpaid

For churches which baptize by sprinkling, this is our Baptismal Bowl in the Otoe pattern. It has a simple cross on the base of the curled handle. Our thanks to Greta Bridges for her advice and support in the development of this piece! She and her congregations own the first one we made.
Width: approximately 9"
Price: $79.50 postpaid
