Silver is one of the best materials to use for kiddush cups. It is purer and will not corrode like other metals. Silver has been used in Jewish religious ceremonies for centuries. It also has antibacterial properties. Kiddush cups come in many different shapes and sizes with engravings, decorations and Hebrew lettering. Some have the names of Jewish holidays, ancestors and other special dates etched into them. Using a beautiful silver cup elevates the specialness of the recitation of the kiddush prayers. Whether you are looking for the perfect gift or want to purchase silver kiddush cups to use at home, Hadad Bros has many options for you to choose from.
When you buy a silver Kiddush cup it is important to keep in mind the proper care of it. It is recommended to wash the cup by hand and only with cold water. It is also not a good idea to put it in the dishwasher because it will damage the silver and the 14k gold coating inside that preserves the wine. Rather, you should dry the cup with a soft cloth to avoid scratches.
This particular silver Kiddush cup came to me for repair from a customer in need of it. This is a small cup that is about 2 inches tall. When it arrived it was chewed up badly in the garbage disposal, had severe dents and gouges, rolled out of shape with a rolled edge along with other damages to the chased and repousse designs on the side. It was a challenging job to restore it but the results were well worth it. כוס קידוש כסף
