Silver Plated Kiddush Cup
Wood and metal are pleasantly brought together in this Kiddush cup. It is a perfect gift for the collector who has everything, as the natural wooden beech base ensures that no two are alike. Enjoy this Israeli art as an addition to your collection or as a gift to a friend.
An understated beechwood base holds a silver-plated goblet in this fine object of israeli-made judaica. Upon the base sits a metal plate carved with the timeless words of the Kiddush pray and a single understated cluster of grapes. The kiddush cup itself is highly polished to a reflective shine.
The beechwood base of the cup is finished with a technique chosen by the artist to accent the wood’s fine grain. This lends a naturalistic feeling to the base which balances the machined and silver-plated goblet.
As for the cup itself, it is formed of turned metal plated in silver with the inside given a subtle brushed finish and the outside polished to mirror-like perfection made by artist Shraga Landesman.
The whole assemblage will look good either alone or as a part of a larger collection. The choice to leave the natural wood grain untouched ensures that each base is one of a kind.
