Rare Avishai Bezalel Sterling Silver Kiddush Wine Cup with stones - Acid Etched

Description

Large Rare Handmade Avishai Bezalel Jerusalem Sterling Silver Kiddush Wine Cup - Acid Etched.  This is a magnificent collector's piece from the middle of the1900's.  The cup has a very unique shape and has the original 3 stones in their original setting.  There are the three famous words etched at the top rim: Yisroel (Israel), Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and a third that says 'Avishai'.  The etching on the rest of the cup is the typical botanical design including grapes.  The roping is very beautiful. The Avishai maker's mark is on the inside of the cup (see the photo) and it is marked ST925 Israel.
The cup stands 6-1/4" tall and is 2-1/2" across at the top of the cup.  As this is an older cup, there are a couple of tiny dings that can be seen on the photos.  This does not affect the beauty of the cup.
