The cup features an exquisitely detailed, repoussé-style chased band depicting cascading grape clusters and leaves, symbolizing abundance and the blessing of the wine. The interior is finished with a striking, vibrant gold wash (vermeil) designed to protect the silver from the acidity of ritual wine.

The underside clearly displays the crisp, stamped hallmarks: the official HAZORFIM maker’s mark, the 925 oval purity mark, and the standard Israeli silver inspection stamp.

Condition Report
This piece is in excellent vintage, "as-found" condition with a gorgeous natural patina.

Silver Surfaces: No splits, cracks, or heavy scratches. A tiny, minor dimple/surface compression consistent with light ritual use is visible under close inspection near the lower smooth body, which does not distract from its display value. Light scuffing.

Interior Vermeil: The gold wash remains remarkably bright, rich, and intact with only minor surface swirling from gentle cleaning.
