Silver kiddush goblet designed by Ludwig Wolpert. Portugal, [ca. 1970s].
Silver (marked: "Sterling, Portugal W.H"), turned, cut-out and soldered. Stamped "Wolpert".
Large goblet in Wolpert's modern-industrial style, with a cone-shaped cup, gilt-plated on the inside and perched on a high stem with a cone-shaped base. The ending words of the blessing recited on wine "Creator of the fruit of the vine" (Hebrew) is etched on a thick disc, which separates the cup from the stem. The words "the nation which sanctifies the seventh day" (Hebrew), taken from the Sabbath prayer, appear on the base. Both inscriptions are in a font typical of Wolpert's works.
