A group of Judaica ritual metalware. The collection includes stemmed Kiddush cups crafted from brass with gold-tone washes to the interiors. Each cup features a flared rim engraved with the Hebrew blessing בורא פרי הגפן (Borei pri ha-gefen), which translates as Creator of the fruit of the vine. The bell-shaped bowls are decorated with engraved foliate motifs and clusters of grapes, supported by stems on circular spreading feet. The mirror is housed in a rectangular hand-hammered white metal frame, likely pewter, executed in an Arts and Crafts style. The frame is decorated with repoussé spiral designs, raised bosses, and Hebrew inscriptions. The upper section of the frame bears impressed marks including the words שבת קודש (Shabbat Kodesh), meaning Holy Sabbath. Additional manufacturer marks or hallmarks are present on the frame but are worn and indistinct.
