Ceramic Kiddush Cups

CERAMIC KIDDUSH CUPS FOR SALE

When we talk about a "Kiddush cup", we are referring to the recitation declared over a cup of wine before commencing the Shabbat meal on Friday evening and Shabbat morning. It is a special moment when everyone, seated around the table, listens intently as the leader of the family fills the cup with wine, lifts it up and, holding it cradled in his hand, recites aloud the traditional words of Kiddush.

With all eyes on the cup as the "starter" for the meal, the Kiddush cup holds a place of honor on the Shabbat table. So, of course, you will want a cup that is attractively designed – a cup that will be a pleasure to hold and to use.

One cup in our collection that is a consistent best seller is the Kiddush cup with the ever-popular Armenian design. It features the characteristic floral design in a dominant blue blended with other colors. Words from the wine blessing printed on the cup and the matching saucer make this a perfect centerpiece for the Shabbat table.
