This listing features a matching pair of antique stemless silver Kiddush shot cups (beakers/tumblers) decorated with hand-engraved Judaic iconography. Each cup stands approximately 2.25 inches tall with a flared lip measuring 2 inches in rim diameter. Together, the pair has a combined weight of 59.0 grams of fine silver metal.

The exterior walls showcase hand-chased and wriggle-work (bright-cut) geometric engraving, featuring a prominent six-pointed Magen David (Star of David) framed by traditional foliate dashes and border zig-zag banding. The underside of each base is impressed with the incuse mark 84-STERLING.

Note on Marking & Provenance: The 84-STERLING stamp is a historical export hallmark system used by European, Near Eastern, and American export silversmiths active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries (c. 1890s–1920s) to denote silver produced to the Russian 84 Zolotnik purity standard (.875 fine silver) while concurrently satisfying English-speaking import standard terminology ("STERLING").
