ADDITIONAL INFO
A silver Kiddush cup, handmade by the Jewish-Yemenite silversmith family of Zadok. The cup, influenced by the Bezalel style, is decorated with vegetal motifs including grapevines and palm trees. The words Zadok, Jerusalem and Israel (in Hebrew) and the blessing - "בורא פרי הגפן"- made before drinking wine, are amongst the illustrations. The Kiddush cup is decorated with filigree work and the upper part of it is set with three gemstones. The cup is marked "ZADOK, MADE IN ISRAEL, STERLING".
The notable silversmith Avraham Zadok and his family immigrated to Israel in 1949 from Sana'a, Yemen, and a year later established a jewelry and silversmith workshop in Jerusalem. During the 1960s, the Zadok family opened a store near the King David Hotel in Jerusalem and began to engage in Judaica, successfully adapting to the field of goldsmithing in Israel.
