The base is six-lobed, with fields featuring appliqués in the shape of full-plastic rosettes adorned with blue, green, and white enamel and pearls. Around the edge of the base, there is an engraved inscription in two zones:
IOANNES+ HOFFMA+ DECRETORV+ LICENCIATVS+ CANONICVS Q WRATISLAVIEN+ HVNC AVREVUM+ CALICEM+ SEX+ MARCHAR+ SVA+ EX+ HEREDITATE+ ECCLIE+ DIVI+ IOANNIS+ BAP+ LEGAVIT+ ANNO+ CHRISTIANE+SALVTIS+ QVO+ SIM+ OBIIT+ DIEM MCCCCC PRIMO+ VIII APRIL+ IVSSERVNT+ ANTE+ OPVS+ HOC+ FIERI+ EXECVTORES+ IN+ TESTAMENTO+ DESIGNATI+ DNI+ VIDELICET+ IOANNES+ SCHEVERLEIN+ CINONICVS+ ET+ OFFICIAL+ MARTINVS+ PAVLSDORF+ AC+ IOHANNES+ FIK+ VICARY+ ECLIE+ WRATISLAVIENSIS+ ANNO+ QVO+ SVPRA.
The hexagonal shaft is decorated with red enamel. The node is shaped like a flattened sphere with six enamelled rosettes around it. The smooth bowl is in a basket decorated with wire enamel in plant vine forms, topped with a row of fleurs-de-lis with pearls.
The chalice is from the posthumous foundation of Johannes Hoffmann, canon of the Wrocław Cathedral.
