This authentic Israeli sterling silver lidded pedestal bowl was crafted by Massorett, a known maker of fine silver Judaica in Israel. Specifically styled for the Rosh Hashanah holiday table as a ceremonial honey dish, this piece features a stepped pedestal foot, a deep interior bowl with a wide flared rim, and a domed drop-in lid topped with a scroll finial handle.

The exterior borders and dome feature intricate chased and stamped lattice bandings, teardrop/oval motifs, and beaded trim accents, creating depth and high reflective shimmer.

Condition Report

• Excellent vintage condition overall with fine structural integrity.

Authenticity Assessment

The mark MASORETT 925 S stamped on the rim of the lid exhibits clear, sharp block typography aligned with standard late-20th-century Israeli silver hallmark conventions. Massoret markings typically appear as a direct maker-mark impression alongside standard millesimal fineness indicators (925 or 925 S). The fabrication construction—including seam joints, hand-chased rim work, and cast scroll top handle—matches authentic Israeli sterling production methods rather than silver-dipped or electroformed base metals.
