This elegant vintage sterling silver kiddush cup and matching saucer set is a classic piece of Judaica. The cup features a flared rim with subtle ridged detailing near the top, transitioning into a bulbous body adorned with hand-etched engravings. The engravings include a prominent Star of David (Magen David) symbol on one side, surrounded by decorative borders and patterns that appear to incorporate floral motifs. The stem is baluster-shaped with ringed accents, leading to a flared base. The accompanying saucer is simple yet complementary. The cup measures approximately 4.25 inches tall with a 2-inch diameter at the rim, weighing 46 grams. The saucer is about 3.75 inches in diameter and weighs 44 grams, for a total silver weight of 90 grams.

Origin: Likely manufactured in the United States or Israel, based on the "STERLING" hallmark, which is standard for American-made or U.S.-market sterling silver items. Many similar kiddush cups with Star of David engravings originate from Israeli silversmiths or American Judaica producers catering to Jewish communities. The style aligns with mid-20th-century productions from workshops like those in Jerusalem or New York, where sterling silver Judaica was commonly crafted for export and domestic use.

Age: Vintage, estimated mid-20th century (approximately 1950s to 1980s). The design and hallmarks suggest it is not antique (pre-1920s) but rather a post-war piece, consistent with the resurgence of Judaica craftsmanship after World War II. No specific date mark is present, but the etching style and overall form match items from this era.

Condition: In good vintage condition, with minor signs of age and use. There is a small dent noted at the base of the cup, which does not affect functionality or stability. The surfaces show light scratches and patina from handling, but the engravings remain crisp and legible. No major damage, repairs, or significant tarnish; the set polishes well and is ready for display or use. The saucer is in excellent shape with minimal wear.

Material: Sterling silver (925/1000 purity), as indicated by the hallmarks. The cup is marked "4-STERLING" on the side of the base, where "4" likely represents a pattern or catalog number from the manufacturer, a common practice in American sterling silver production. The saucer is marked "STERLING" near the bottom edge.
