About the Item

Of exceptional scale and craftsmanship, this impressive silver Kos Shel Eliyahu (Elijah’s Cup) was produced in Debrecen, Hungary, circa 1890. The goblet stands on a bold, stepped domed base, rising into a pronounced dual spool-form stem. Both the base and stem are meticulously decorated with gadrooned and curved paneled designs, reflecting the refined silversmithing traditions of late 19th-century Hungarian Judaica. The upper bowl is particularly large in proportion and surmounted by a finely flared lid. Encircling the rim is a striking chased decorative band featuring three elongated and animated floral wreaths, each separated by pairs of vertical banded motifs. This rhythmic ornamentation lends the piece a sense of movement and ceremonial grandeur. Engraved on the upper section of the goblet is a heartfelt dedication indicating that the cup was presented as a gift by the Jewish congregation of Debrecen—קהל ארטה (Kehal Arata)—to their community leader or Rebbe. This personal inscription not only enhances the historical value of the piece but also firmly roots it in the communal and spiritual life of Hungarian Jewry at the time. Monumental in both form and presence, this cup was likely used during the Passover Seder to honor the prophet Elijah, symbolizing hope and redemption. A superb example of Eastern European Jewish ceremonial silver, combining liturgical importance with rich decorative artistry. Hallmarked on the upper section of the domed base. 11.71ozt.
