The chalice and cover illustrated on the same page is another fine example of the Exeter pattern, with inscription on cover “The Paryshe of Trynitye in the yeare of our Lorde 1575.” The maker is I. Ions and the Exeter date mark 1575. The marks of this piece are illustrated [page 391].
Another Elizabethan chalice and cover bears the London hall-mark of 1573. It is parcel gilt, has a straight bowl with slight lip, and engraved foliated bands. Its inscription is “St. Martin’s in Exon.” This is illustrated on [page 71] together with a Charles I chalice and cover made by J. R. Radcliff and bearing the Exeter mark of 1640, the date when Strafford was impeached and two years before the outbreak of the Civil War. The illustration shows the mark on the middle of the bowl, with the maker’s name in full between the two bands of floriated decoration.
