A vintage hand-carved wooden wedding cup, also known as a shepherd’s cup, originating from mid-20th century Yugoslavia, likely between 1941 and 1969. These ceremonial cups were traditionally gifted to newlyweds, symbolizing unity, love, and prosperity, and were often used during the wedding ceremony itself.
Crafted from a single piece of wood—often teak—this example features intricate carvings, including a grape and leaf motif along with geometric patterns. A distinctive handle completes the design, reflecting the folk art traditions of regions such as Slovenia and Serbia.
These cups are valued both for their craftsmanship and cultural meaning, making them collectible folk art pieces with historical charm.
