Antique c1820 Poland Silver 12 Jewish Kiddush Cup showing a spice box tower ?:
$480.00

inches high, 1.8 inches wide. One side as you can see is a bit dented/pushed in, but there are no splits/cracks anywhere. Made of very thick silver, this little cup is quite heavy for it\'s size, the lower half seems to be made of more silver than the top half. Am I crazy or do one of those \"buildings\" look exactly like a Jewish spice tower, with the cone shaped turret, ball finial, and Flag?! Did the engraver of this cup \"hint at\" the purpose of this cup, for Havdalah on Saturday night? Shown in the last photo is a spice tower from the Israel Museum, which dates to the same era as this cup --- circa 1820 --- and is also from Poland. Notice how the engraving on the base of the spice tower is an identical match to the engraving on the cup. A unique 12 cup!
