An exceptional mid-20th-century sterling silver Judaica Kiddush cup / tumbler.

Authenticity Assessment

This piece exhibits all key physical markers of authentic mid-20th-century silver construction. The "STG.SIL." hallmark is deeply incised rather than cast or laser-etched, showing clear metal displacement around the lettering edges consistent with a steel hand-punch stamp. The geometric wave pattern and floral scrollwork demonstrate bright-cut engraving techniques where light-reflecting facets were sliced directly into the silver wall using a hand graver tool. Furthermore, the spun wall construction, seamless flared rim, and exact weight-to-volume ratio (59g for a 2.75" beaker) confirm solid sterling composition.
