The modern priest Chalice is shaped like a countersunk cup, and is made of three parts: the foot, the stem and the cup. Its lines were furtherly simplified; decors are the same neo-Gothic or Baroque ones, mainly symbols recalling Eucharist and Passion.
The foot of the communion chalice is usually round, but can also be polygonal or have a complex shape made of lines and curves. The important thing is that it is big enough to guarantee stability to the whole structure. That is why it has to be larger than the cup.
The stem can be of various length, but it is usually proportional to the other elements. It is interrupted by a knop, an element that is both decorative and helpful to the priest for handling the chalice during the consecration.
The shape of the cup must consider its purpose. It must not be too deep and a bit long in its final part where the priest will lay his lips.

The material was gold, richly decorated with enamels and precious stones. In shape it was without handles and like a celery glass, with a very deep cup and no stem, but the cup was joined to the base by a knop, which under the name of nodus or pomellum became a very characteristic feature in the chalices of the Middle Ages. In many of the specimens described or preserved from the Merovingian, Carlovingian, and Romanesque periods, it is possible to make a distinction between the ordinary sacrificial chalice used by bishops and priests in the Mass and the calices ministeriales intended for the Communion of the faithful at Easter and other seasons when many received.

"The outer cup and the circular base are hand chiselled with arched motifs and decorated with cloisonné fired enamel in watermark, while a KNOTTED STEM bears a cup in the shape of a ciborium. The preciousness of this jewel is enhanced by 32 natural stones set (amethysts, lapis lazuli, venturine and grenades)."

: I am sorry the cited sentence has 3 hits on the internet. Knots as a motif differs from knops of the stem. Check a religious site.
