Description

The following description was prepared by William Gross:

The sanctification of the Shabbat and Holidays is connected with a blessing recited over wine or grape juice. While the wine can be drunk from any vessel, often special cups are created for the purpose. In most cases, regular cups are simply decorated or inscribed with names or blessings, rendering them exclusively for the Kiddush.

A finely wrought cup fashioned in Vienna in 1840 by an unidentified silversmith and dedicated to a Rabbi from his community in Hungary in 1844. The Rabbi, Low Lipot (1811 - 1875), although born in Moravia, was among the first Rabbis in Hungary to preach to his congregation in Hungarian and was a very well known figure among Hungarian Jews as a leader of the progressive branch of Judaism in Hungary. This cup is a typical example of a regular cup for secular use being given a Jewish nature by way of the inscription.

Inscription: Loew Lipot, N. Kanizsai Förrabbi Ú??? / Tisztelet jeléül / A Pesti izr. Község 1844
