Description
This small keepsake box is made from metal in a bright, polished silver finish, with a chalice raised on the lid to mark a Communion. The chalice stands in relief towards the centre, its cup holding a round host marked with IHS, the traditional Christian monogram for the name of Jesus. The box itself is rectangular with softly rounded edges and a fitted lift-off lid, and it measures 5.3cm wide, 4.3cm deep and 3cm tall, small enough to sit in the palm of a hand.
Being so compact, it finds a home easily on a bedside table, a dressing table or a bookshelf, and it tucks into a drawer just as readily. Inside there is room for the small things worth keeping from the day: a folded note or card, a pressed flower, a ribbon or a tiny photograph trimmed to fit. As a Communion keepsake it makes a thoughtful gift, and the chalice and IHS design make its meaning clear at a glance, so it needs no explanation when it is opened and admired. It sits quietly among other treasured pieces without looking out of place, and the plain polished surfaces suit both traditional and simple modern rooms.
The lid lifts straight off and rests back in place on the base, and the inside has a soft grey lining that gives small pieces a gentle bed. The grey lining shows neatly at the rim when the lid is off, a soft contrast to the bright silver outside. To keep the polished finish bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch a shiny metal surface. Wrapped in white tissue and tied with a ribbon, it makes a neat gift to hand over on the day, and afterwards it keeps those small reminders together in one place.
