A RARE SILVER SHMIROT KIDDUSH CUP. Galician, c. 1850.
Located in Tel Aviv - Jaffa, IL
A RARE SILVER SHMIROT KIDDUSH CUP. Galician, c. 1850.
Among some Hassidic courts, it was a practice for the Rabbi to give a blessed silver coin to his Hassidim as an amulet. Such protection might be given for all manner of life events, from healing from an illness to success in travel and the amulet was carried on the body of the recipient. This custom was particularly popular among the Ryzhiner Hassidim and these coins were called "Shmirot". To such coins were attributed extraordinary power and value and they were treasured with great care and love.
this cup is marked with polish loth 12 mark which indicate silver content of 75%.
Size :
Height 2.3 inch / 6 cm
Width : 2 inch / 5 cm
After the specific event for which they had originally be given, such a coin or coins were used in the making of other objects, which maintained the special aura of the Rabbi. Such a coin would be melted in other silver with the amuletic valued being spread evenly to all the silver. Then a ritual object would be fashioned by a silversmith and the special nature of the item would be inscribed on it, indicating in one of several ways that this object had been made from "Shmirot". this objects include Kiddish cups, a Havdalah tray, a Shabbat salt holder, a Chanukkah Menorah, a Torah crown etc.
This object is a Kiddish cup fashioned from such silver. On this cup, the inscription indicating Shmirot is found in the abbreviation of the words "made from shmirot k (kodesh)' " (This is the cup of Shmirot). Such cups were used for blessing the wine so that each use renewed the power of protection granted by the Rabbi. This cup was used for the blessing over wine on Shabbat and holidays. Inscription:
the other iconography on the cup is of a lion that represent Through the tribe of Judah, the lion symbol came to represent the blessing, majesty, and even divine protection of the Jews. The lion symbol continued to be used even after the destruction of Jerusalem, the capital of Judah's nation,
and a unicorn or a re'em, also reëm (Hebrew: רְאֵם), is an animal mentioned nine times in the Hebrew Bible It has been translated as "unicorn" in the Latin Vulgate, King James Version, and in some Christian Bible translations as "oryx" (which was accepted as the referent in Modern Hebrew),[citation needed] "wild ox", "wild bull", "buffalo" or "rhinoceros". Rabbi Natan Slifkin has argued that the re'em was an aurochs, as has Isaac Asimov...

Puiforcat (Hermes) - 2pc. Louis XVI Sterling Silver Vegetable Server - MINT !
By Puiforcat
Located in Wilmington, DE
Direct from a private residence in Paris, a magnificent 19th century, Louis XVI covered sterling silver tureen by the world's premier French silversmith "Puiforcat", currently owned by Hermes, a beautifully elegant set - Circa 1890s, MAGNIFICENT. The art of silver-smithing has been a distinguished part of French heritage for centuries, producing some of the most exquisite and sought-after silverware in the world. Among the names synonymous with excellence in this field, Puiforcat stands out for its unparalleled craftsmanship, rich history, royal patronage, and innovative designs.
Puiforcat's story began in 1820 when Jean-Baptiste Fuchs, a skilled silversmith, established a workshop in Paris. This workshop laid the foundation for what would become one of the most prestigious names in silver-smithing. In 1857, Louis-Victor Puiforcat, Fuchs' son-in-law, joined the business, bringing with him a passion for the craft that would define the company’s future. The business was subsequently renamed "Puiforcat" and began to flourish, gaining a reputation for its exceptional silverware. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Puiforcat expanded its range of products, producing not only silver flatware but also intricate tableware, decorative pieces, and objets d'art. The company's commitment to quality and innovation was evident in their designs, which often incorporated elements of Art Deco, a style that became closely associated with Puiforcat during the early 20th century. This period also saw the involvement of Jean Puiforcat, a visionary designer who played a crucial role in establishing the brand's modern identity.
Puiforcat's silver pieces are renowned for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans who adhere to traditional techniques passed down through generations. The process of creating Puiforcat silver pieces involves multiple stages, including design, forging, chasing, and polishing, each requiring a high level of expertise and precision. One of the hallmarks of Puiforcat silverware...

Vintage, New and Antique Sterling Silver
Dining and entertaining changed drastically when we began to set our tables with sterling silver for holiday gatherings, wedding receptions, engagement parties and, in some of today’s homes, everyday meals.
Often called the “Queen of metals,” silver has been universally adored for thousands of years. It is easy to see why it has always been sought after: It is durable, strong and beautiful. (Louis XIV had tables made entirely of silver.) Sterling silver is an alloy that is made of 92.5 percent silver — the “925” stamp that identifies sterling-silver jewelry refers to this number. The other 7.5 percent in sterling silver is typically sourced from copper.
Neoclassical-style sterling-silver goods in Europe gained popularity in the late 18th century — a taste for sterling-silver tableware as well as tea sets had taken shape — while in the United States, beginning in the 19th century, preparing the dinner table with sterling-silver flatware had become somewhat of a standard practice. Indeed, owning lots of silver goods during the Victorian era was a big deal. Back then, displaying fine silver at home was a status symbol for middle-class American families. And this domestic silver craze meant great profitability for legendary silversmith manufacturers such as Reed Barton, Gorham Manufacturing Company and the International Silver Company, which was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898, a major hub of silver manufacturing nicknamed “Silver City.”
Today, special occasions might call for ceremonial silver designed by Tiffany Co. or the seductive sterling-silver cutlery from remarkable Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, but there really doesn’t have to be an event on the calendar to trot out your finest tableware.
Event- and wedding-planning company maestro Tara Guérard says that some “investment pieces,” such as this widely enamored alloy, should see everyday use, and we’re inclined to agree.
“Sterling-silver flatware is a must-have that you can use every single day, even to eat cereal,” she says. “Personally, I want a sterling-silver goblet set for 12 to 20; I would use them every time I had a dinner party. Ultimately, there are no criteria for buying vintage pieces: Buy what you love, and make it work.”
Whether you’re thinking “ceremonial” or “cereal,” browse a versatile collection of vintage, new and antique sterling-silver wares on 1stDibs today.
