ОписаниеOne of two German silver Kiddush Cups, circa 1870, with landscape scenes, architectural and other decorative elements. These are unusual because it is not often that one comes across a matching pair of cups.
Purchased at an auction in London and donated by Mannie Gold in honour of Reva Lander.
Kiddush (Hebrew for ‘sanctification’) is a blessing recited over wine or grape juice to sanctify the Shabbat and Jewish holidays. Many families have a special goblet or glass for the blessing, this vessel is called the Kiddush cup. Traditionally, a Kiddush cup will be crafted out of gold or silver, however they can also be crafted from pewter, fine china, or pottery. They are often ornately decorated with fruit - grapes to symbolise the wine. A Kiddush cup can come in a variety of forms and sizes. It is just as common to have a stem on a Kiddush cup as it is to have a stem-less Kiddush cup. The crucial thing for a Kiddush cup is its size; it must hold a revi’it of liquid. A revi’it is approximately between 90.7 millilitres and 161.5 millilitres.
