Communion Ware

My communion ware is designed to be simple and functional, to subtly enhance rather than distract from the significance of the rite. Each set is made individually using a potter's wheel, not a mold, so sizes and shapes vary. The pieces pictured here are samples, not standard lines of ware. Each set that I make is unique.

Generally, my full-size patens are 9-10" in diameter, large enough for a real loaf of bread. Chalices are approximately 7-9" high, with a 4-5" diameter open bowl that works well when the wine is shared by intinction (dipping). I also make slightly smaller sets, suitable for retreat groups, or for those churches that prefer a more compact communion set. Retreat size chalices are typically 6-7" high and patens are 7-8" diameter. I also make a personal or travel size set, with chalice about 3-4" high and paten 3-4" in diameter. Additional items, such as pitchers, bowls, oil lamps, etc, are also available on request.

Communion ware is available by special order, though I often have a few sets in stock at any given time. See notes below. A standard set of chalice and paten is $60 ($50 for retreat-size sets), plus shipping (USPS Priority Mail) and handling ($5 per set) charges; additional charges may apply for special requests.
