17th Century German(?) Chalice

I don't know much about this chalice, beyond it's size of 4" by 2.75. Tested at 800/1000 silver
I believe it to be Bavarian late 1600's to early 1700s. The hallmarks seem to be a crescent moon followed by the intials MP. Any information or educated guesses are welcome. It's a fascinating piece and a new star to the collection

Chalice? Perhaps bowl and cover (missing) on three elongated feet.

Thanks to both posters for the information and leads. A covered bowl on three legs does make more sense than a chalice of this design. Early 18th century seems accurate. No matter, it's an old and fascinating relic.
