This silver paten (communion plate) and its accompanying chalice
(Museum no. M.28-2002) has a dramatic contrasting black marble base. The ensemble won the Young Silversmith-Designer of the Year Award in 2002. The design brief was for a piece of silver for religious use and this set would have held the wine and consecrated bread that are part of the Christian Eucharist service.

Sidsel Dorph-Jensen, a Danish student at the Royal College of Art, London, made these objects under supervision in the workshop of the London firm of Wakeley & Wheeler. Her designs and a model of the pieces are in the collections of the Word and Image Department of the V&A.
