A 19th c. wooden chalice in old surface. 
Constructed of lathe turned tiger maple wood and formed in a chalice shape with a deeply shaped bowl atop a stem accented with a medial knopf. A generously sized foot adorns the base exhibits extremely fine lathe turning marks.
Survives in an extremely well-preserved state of condition with a mellow surface blended with rich color from its wood grain. 
A pleasantry for the collector appreciative of fine workmanship of treen and quality wood grain. 
From a fine private Midwestern collection. Northeast origin. Ca. 1870. 4 3/4"T.
