A thirteenth-century, silver-gilt chalice with a plain, flattened hemispherical bowl, on a stem engraved with trefoil leaves, with a central knop divided into twelve lobes. The circular foot is embossed with two rows of twelve trefoil-shaped lobes, the upper row plain, the lower engraved with stiff leaves.

The maker's name, which is signed under the foot, appears to be Nicholas of 'Herford', now the village of Hartford in Cheshire, where the family of Nicholas was based.
