A Tzefat Silver Mini Kiddush Cup
Surrounded with three gorgeously engraved cartouches displaying scenes of holy sites in Israel. One cartouche is engraved with a scene of the Kotel Hama'aravi-the Western Wall, the second is engraved with the Me'arat Hamachpela -the burial place of the patriarchs and matriarchs, while the third depicts the scene of Migdal David -the Tower of David.
Engraved between all three cartouches are flowing floral and foliage designs centered between two circular etched bands. Cup sits on a flat circular base and a banded flaring rim.
This mini Kiddush cup was probably meant to be used for taking shots of schnapps on a holiday or shabbat.
This cup was dedicated by Kollel Drohobycz in Tzefat as engraved on the rim of the cup.
