Rare Jewish Purim Drinking Mug, Bohemian, Circa, 1905 Judaica

About the Item

Rare! Purim Drinking Mug, Bohemian, Circa, 1905 The central fish motif is symbolic of Purim, as this holiday occurs during the Hebrew month of Adar, who zodiacal symbol is fish. Fish also designate abundance, fertility, and good luck. At top in Hebrew, it says "With the entrance of Adar rejoicing is increased" Continuing at bottom "Luck of Adar, (luck of) fish, " and finally "L'Chayım Bridis, " a toast half in Yiddish ("To life, brothers!"). Drinking utensils specifically associated with Purim are very rare. While a few pewter wine flagons and silver wine cups for Purim are scattered across Jewish museum collections around the world, this is the only known vessel made for drinking beer that was decorated for this holiday. This stein was likely a unique commission for a beer- loving Bohemian Jew to be used on this festive holiday that encourages mild inebriation Origin: Bohemian region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Czech Republic) Circa, 1905 Artist: "SPJ" Literature: Jewish Antiques - From Menorahs to seltzer bottles, P-85. Provenance: From the Tsadik Kaplan Collection. 7.25" x 5.6" including handle Good Condition. נדיר! ספל שתייה לפורים, בוהמיה, בערך 1905. עיצוב מרכזי בדמות דג, המסמל את חג הפורים, הנחגג בחודש אדר שסמלו האסטרולוגי הוא דגים. הדג מייצג גם שפע, פוריות ומזל טוב. עיטורי הספל: בחלקו העליון של הספל מופיע כיתוב בעברית: "משנכנס אדר מרבים בשמחה". בתחתית: "מזל אדר דגים" ולבסוף, "לחיים ברידש", ברכה המשלבת עברית ויידיש (לחיים, אחים!). ייחודיות הפריט: כלי שתייה המשויכים במיוחד לפורים נדירים מאוד. בעוד שכמה כדים מכסף או בדיל וכוסות יין לפורים נמצאים באוספים מוזיאוניים ברחבי העולם, כלי זה הוא הכלי היחיד הידוע שנוצר לשתיית בירה וקושט לכבוד חג זה. סביר שספל זה הוזמן במיוחד עבור יהודי חובב בירה מבוהמיה, לשימוש במהלך חג פורים – חג שבו עידוד לשתייה מתונה הוא חלק מהמנהגים. מוצא: אזור בוהמיה שבאימפריה האוסטרו-הונגרית (צ'כיה של ימינו), בערך בשנת 1905. אמן: SPJ אזכור ספרותי: Jewish Antiques - From Menorahs to Seltzer Bottles, עמ' 85. מקור: מאוסף צדוק קפלן. מידות: 7.25 אינץ' x 5.6 אינץ' כולל הידית.
