Chalice (lower part).

The lower part of the chalice is made mostly of silver- and gold-toned metal. The chalice is in two tiers, with a round base and shaped edges curved outward, bearing a donor's inscription. The lower tier is decorated with bouquets of flowers and fruit and images of cherubim, alternating with acanthus leaves. The upper tier is in the form of a six-petaled flower, its facets alternating gold- and silver-toned with a diamond-mesh pattern. The edges of each facet bear a floral ornament. The second tier gradually tapers upward, with an overlay in the form of leaves, leading into a stem with an "apple" (knop) decorated with a floral ornament. Around the edge is the Church Slavonic inscription: "This cup was commissioned by the servant of God Hryhorii and his wife Hanna, for the forgiveness of sins, for the Church of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity, in 1735."

The chalice was made in 1735.

The chalice belonged to the pre-war collection of the Sloboda Ukraine Museum named after H. S. Skovoroda. During the Second World War it was evacuated and returned to Kharkiv in November 1944.

Note: the chalice (potir) is the sacred liturgical cup used to consecrate wine and to celebrate the sacrament of Communion.

The chalice represents the cup given by Jesus Christ to his disciples at the Last Supper, with the words: "Drink of it, all of you, for this is My Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."
