This gorgeous saucer can be used with almost any kiddush cup, or simply be kept as an ornament or centerpiece.
As the family gathers around the table on Friday evening, the Sabbath is welcomed with the recital of the Kiddush, which hails the completion of the Creation and G-d's resting on the seventh day (Genesis 2:1-3). Described as a Queen, the Sabbath is sanctified with the blessing over wine from the finest silver cups, and sometimes, special decanters.
This piece is a replica of a silver repouss? partly gilt saucer in the Israel Museum collection.
