Featuring a classic spiral-fluted stem and delicate bead-and-reel border molding, this sterling silver Kiddush cup is distinguished by its pierced openwork domed foot showcasing the Hebrew inscription "Ani L'dodi V'dodi Li" ("I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine," Song of Solomon). Rooted in centuries-old Jewish ceremonial metalworking traditions, goblets featuring this sacred nuptial verse became prominent in 20th-century Judaica design as traditional wedding gifts and heirloom Shabbat wine vessels. The rich gold vermeil interior bowl adds a warm contrast to the polished sterling exterior while preserving the silver from acidic wine oxidation.
