Large, highly developed foot in the form of a hexafoil with softly profiled, undulating edges. The upper surface of the foot is stepped: inclined, smooth planes descend from the central, elevated stem-base towards the edge, separating the individual lobes. Red stones in octagonal settings are located between the lobes. Oval, colorful enameled plaques with floral motifs are arranged on the lobes of the foot. One plaque bears the coat of arms of the Jerin family with a cardinal’s hat. Inscription on the upper edge of the foot: PHILLIPVS IACOBVS A IERIN. VRAT. 1658, referring to the person of the founder.
The stem is slender and two-tiered. The knop is spherical, decorated with engraving.
The cup is plain, high, and set in a calyx formed of overlapping petals creating the shape of a flower blossom.
The entire chalice features a compact, light form typical of Central European Mannerism and early Baroque around the mid-17th century.
Canon and Vicar General Philipp Jacob von Jerin continued the tradition of artistic patronage of his uncle Andreas Jerin (1541–1596), the founder of the famous silver altar of Wrocław Cathedral.
