Catalogue Note
Seuls deux orfèvres répertoriés par Michèle Bimbenet-Privat dans son ouvrage Les Orfèvres et l'Orfèvrerie de Paris au XVIIe siècle, Paris Musées, 2002, tome I, pourraient répondre partiellement au poinçon d'orfèvre de ce calice. Le poinçon de Pierre Dubois, reçu en 1644, est identifié comme PDB, un oiseau au milieu desdites lettres. Celui de Pierre de Bréquigny, reçu en 1625, signale PD entrelacés, B, un lys au milieu des lettres.
