Description from the seller

The presence of the Star of David (Magen David) with the inlaid letters definitively confirms that this is a ritual Jewish Kiddush cup used for sanctifying wine on Shabbat and on holidays.2. Brand Identification and MaterialAlthough many European brands from the late 19th and early 20th centuries used heraldic symbols, the combination of letters "SLX" inside a Star of David is typically associated with manufacturers or importers of ritual objects (Judaica) from Central or Eastern Europe (regions such as Poland, Germany, or Austria-Hungary).It dates to the late 19th or early 20th century (roughly between 1890 and 1920). The stylized decorative leaf motifs and the dotted lines on the bowl share strong characteristics with the transition from Historic/Traditional style to the early influence of Art Nouveau. Cups with this shape and short stem proportions were very common in Central and Eastern Europe.

Approximate average dimensions - 7*4*4 cm
