About the Item

This elegant pair of mid-20th century German silver beakers displays refined artistry and ceremonial charm, crafted in matching design and form, likely intended for a special occasion—perhaps a wedding or anniversary. Each beaker is richly decorated in repousse and chased technique, enveloping the outer body in a vibrant composition of flowing foliate scrolls. At the heart of each vessel rests a blank cartouche, framed by a delicate beaded border, inviting the addition of initials, a date, or a personal inscription. Surrounding the cartouche are lush arrangements of acanthus leaves, twisting grape vines, and clusters of ripe grapes, rendered with impressive detail. The grape leaves are especially notable—large, deeply veined, and gracefully chased, they lend the composition a sense of abundance and vitality, evoking classical motifs of celebration, fertility, and joy. The mirrored decoration of the two beakers and their shared craftsmanship suggest they were created as a pair—perhaps meant for a bride and groom, each to drink from during the wedding feast or as a cherished gift symbolizing unity and partnership. Whether commissioned by the family or presented by a guest, the sentiment they carry is unmistakable. Delightfully proportioned and rich in symbolism, these beakers stand as a testament to both skilled silversmithing and the enduring importance of shared rituals and commemorative gifts in Jewish life. 7.67ozt

A Silver German Havdalah Spice Box, Early 20th Century
Located in New York, NY
A silver German spice box from the early 20th century is a finely crafted, understated yet elegant piece that reflects the high level of craftsmanship typical of German silversmiths during this period. The box is rectangular, with smooth silver surfaces and the design leans toward simplicity, characteristic of the early 20th century's shift toward Art Deco or late Jugendstil (German Art Nouveau) influences. The hinged lid features clean geometric patterns that frame the engraving written in Hebrew at the center flanked by flower engravings and securely closes over the compartment with a latch that holds the fragrant spices. The sides of the spice box are beautifully engraved with more Hebrew verses relating to the blessings of the spices and flanked by flower motifs. The overall structure is delicate yet sturdy, reflecting the precision and skill of early 20th-century German Judaica...

A Silver Modern Dreidel, 20th Century
Located in New York, NY
A Silver Modern Dreidel made in the 20th Century. This Silver modern Dreidel is uncommonly made. The sides of the dreidel are square and it has the Hebrew letters Nun, Gimmel, Hey, and Shin prominently displayed but that's where the commonality stops. The top handle is long and cylindrical and the bottom point where the dreidel spins is very similar. We have seen this design on some bone dreidels. The top is slightly tilted upwards and has designs that resemble spherical beads encircled by filigree which are common on some Israeli Kiddush goblets. Even the letters which are the smae as most dreidels yet have unique designs. The Gimmel is crowned with an eight-branch Menorah, the Nun is placed within an oil pourer...
