FAQs

A pyx or holy oil container is an ecclesiastical vessel traditionally used by clergy to transport the Eucharist or consecrated oils for anointing the sick and administering sacraments.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver and feature official assay office hallmarks stamped into the metal, indicating the purity standard, year of manufacture, and makers mark.

Authenticity is verified by examining the struck hallmarks for period-correct date letters, town marks, and silver purity standards, alongside checking for traditional hand-engraved details and natural ageing patination.

Such small decorative items can be displayed as cabinet curiosities, placed within a study on a desk, or integrated into a curated display of historical artefacts alongside books.

Sterling silver should be cleaned periodically using a specialist non-abrasive silver cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage engraved detailing and historical patination.
