{"title":"Judaica in 925 Sterling Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eSilver has accompanied the Jewish festival calendar for centuries. Not as jewelry, but because certain actions require a vessel: a cup for the blessing, a plate for the symbolic foods, a pitcher for the handwashing. This category features ritual objects made from solid 925 sterling silver, crafted by Zaramella Argenti in Padua.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's here - and what it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe objects are arranged according to the occasions for which they are used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003ePassover\u003c\/strong\u003e, there is the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sederteller-925-silber-signature-38cm\"\u003eSeder Plate\u003c\/a\u003e with its six engraved indentations for the symbolic foods, and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/eliyahu-becher-925-silber-signature-25cm\"\u003eCup of Elijah\u003c\/a\u003e - which is available individually, with a matching plate, and as a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/eliyahu-set-925-silber-signature-becher-teller\"\u003eset\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003eShabbat\u003c\/strong\u003e and the holidays, there is the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/kiddusch-becher-925-silber-signature-10cm\"\u003eKiddush cup\u003c\/a\u003e for the blessing over wine, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/challah-platte-925-silber-signature-48x36\"\u003eChallah plate\u003c\/a\u003e for the two braided loaves, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/kerzenleuchter-925-silber-signature-klassisch-39cm\"\u003ecandlesticks\u003c\/a\u003e for the two lights of the day of rest, and the vessels for ritual handwashing: the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/netilat-jadajim-925-silber-signature\"\u003eNetilat vessel\u003c\/a\u003e beforehand, and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/mayim-achronim-set-925-silber-signature\"\u003eMayim Achronim set\u003c\/a\u003e afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003eHanukkah\u003c\/strong\u003e, there is the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/chanukkia-925-silber-signature-76cm\"\u003eHanukkah menorah\u003c\/a\u003e with its nine lights - eight for the eight nights, plus the shamash for lighting. Four versions ranging from approximately 65 to 76 cm are available, with a round or square base. The distinction between it and the Menorah is explained below; the confusion is common enough that it's worth reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Cup of Elijah\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Seder night, four cups of wine are on the table, from which one drinks — they represent the four promises of liberation: \u003cem\u003eI will bring you out. I will rescue you. I will redeem you. I will take you to be my people.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fifth cup is also filled, but \u003cstrong\u003enot drunk\u003c\/strong\u003e. It belongs to the prophet Elijah. At one point in the evening, the front door is opened — a gesture that welcomes the harbinger of future redemption. The fifth expression, \u003cem\u003eI will bring you in\u003c\/em\u003e, is still outstanding; this cup stands for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts shape follows from this. The \u003cstrong\u003eKos shel Eliyahu\u003c\/strong\u003e is significantly larger than a Kiddush cup — it is meant to be seen, not held. In this category, Eliyahu cups range from 23 to 51 cm in height, while Kiddush cups measure 9 to 10 cm. If you find a 30 cm cup, you do not have a Kiddush cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany cups stand on their own \u003cstrong\u003eplate\u003c\/strong\u003e. It catches anything that overflows when pouring to the brim and lifts the cup off the table. Both parts are available individually or as a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is more than a packaging issue: it makes the pieces \u003cstrong\u003ecomplementary\u003c\/strong\u003e. Someone who starts with a cup can purchase the plate years later — the manufacturer permanently lists both under the same model number. For inherited cups, this is often the way, as the accompanying plate is usually lost over the generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same logic applies to sizes. The Eliyahu cup is available in five heights, with several models also in a plainer Light version and with partially gilded ornamentation. Collectors will find complete series here; those looking for just one piece will not be overwhelmed by the selection — each product page mentions neighboring items and their differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChanukkiah, not Menorah\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two menorahs are often confused, and the difference is clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMenorah\u003c\/strong\u003e has \u003cstrong\u003eseven\u003c\/strong\u003e arms. It was the candelabrum of the Temple and remains a symbol of Judaism to this day — in the state emblem of Israel as well as on ancient mosaics. Since the destruction of the Temple, its reconstruction is considered impermissible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eChanukkiah\u003c\/strong\u003e has \u003cstrong\u003enine\u003c\/strong\u003e arms and is used for Chanukkah: eight lights for the eight nights, plus the \u003cstrong\u003eShamash\u003c\/strong\u003e — the \"attendant.\" With it, the others are lit; it does not count itself and is therefore set apart, usually elevated in the middle. You can recognize it immediately from the image: nine spouts in a row, one of them raised out of line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe correctly refer to our candelabra as Chanukkiot, even where manufacturers call them \"Menorah\" — in Zaramella's catalog, all four nine-armed pieces are called \"Menorah, 9 Lights,\" which is simply not accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four versions differ in width and base shape:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/chanukkia-925-silber-signature-76cm\"\u003eapprox. 76 × 50 cm\u003c\/a\u003e — the largest, round base, for wide window sills and community rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/chanukkia-925-silber-signature-small-65cm\"\u003eapprox. 65 × 43 cm\u003c\/a\u003e — the same design one size smaller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/chanukkia-925-silber-signature-mini-68cm\"\u003eapprox. 68 × 42 cm\u003c\/a\u003e — slimmest shaft, narrowest piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/chanukkia-925-silber-signature-square-69cm\"\u003eapprox. 69 cm\u003c\/a\u003e — square base, heaviest of the four\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Shabbat, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kerzenleuchter-925-silber\"\u003esingle-arm candlesticks\u003c\/a\u003e are added, which are placed in pairs — for \u003cem\u003eZachor\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eShamor\u003c\/em\u003e, remembering and observing the day of rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on distinction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Even multi-armed candelabra from the line feature nine or more lights. Nevertheless, they are not Hanukkiot — their arms are equally arranged around the shaft, instead of eight at one height with an elevated ninth. Once you've seen the arrangement, you can distinguish them immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandwashing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo different vessels, two different moments. Before the blessing over bread, there is the \u003cstrong\u003eNetilat Yadayim\u003c\/strong\u003e: The vessel has two handles, so one can hold it alternately with one hand and then the other, without touching the already washed hand with the unwashed one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMayim Achronim\u003c\/strong\u003e refers to handwashing \u003cem\u003eafter\u003c\/em\u003e the meal. For this, there is the typical set of a small pitcher and a catch basin, which is passed around the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEven without prior knowledge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of these pieces are purchased by people who do not observe the occasion. This is not a misunderstanding. A hand-chased silver goblet of 33 cm is an object before it is a ritual item — it stands in a display cabinet, on a sideboard, in a collection of Italian silver, and functions there regardless of which evening it might be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, each product page explains \u003cstrong\u003eboth\u003c\/strong\u003e: what the piece does in the ritual, and why it is built the way it is built. Why an Eliyahu cup must be large and a Kiddush cup small. Why a handwashing vessel has two handles. Why cups are gilded on the inside. These reasons are practical in nature — they can be understood without religious prior knowledge, and they make the form comprehensible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever gives such a piece as a gift passes on both: the object and the explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Workmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll pieces are made of \u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e — 925 parts fine silver per 1,000, the rest copper for the necessary hardness. Each bears the official Italian hallmark of the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCups are almost consistently \u003cstrong\u003egilded on the inside\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is craftsmanship with a reason: gold does not react with wine, so neither the taste suffers nor does the inner wall tarnish — where it could not be polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ornaments are \u003cstrong\u003echased\u003c\/strong\u003e: hammered into the silver by hand with punches, stroke by stroke. Unlike embossing, chased work has real depth, and no section exactly repeats the previous one. The pieces come from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/signature-zaramella\"\u003eSignature\u003c\/a\u003e line, the richly worked handwriting of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat these pieces look like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll items in this category come from a single line and therefore share a design language. It is \u003cstrong\u003eclassic Italian\u003c\/strong\u003e: what the Renaissance adopted from antiquity reappears here on cups, plates, and candelabra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eacanthus leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e — serrated, curled at the tips — forms the continuous scrollwork; it has adorned column capitals since Greek antiquity. The \u003cstrong\u003evolute\u003c\/strong\u003e, that twisted spiral, sits at the transition from shaft to foot. The \u003cstrong\u003ebeaded edge\u003c\/strong\u003e, a band of small hemispheres, finishes off edges outwards. \u003cstrong\u003eCartouches\u003c\/strong\u003e — framed fields — structure long edges and at the same time provide the best surface for engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the cups, there's also the \u003cstrong\u003enodus\u003c\/strong\u003e: a knob in the middle of the shaft, which ritual objects have featured since the Middle Ages. It provides a grip and divides the height so that a tall piece doesn't appear stretched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appearance can be chosen in two stages. \u003cstrong\u003ePartially gilded\u003c\/strong\u003e pieces have the raised ornamental parts set off with fine gold — festive, high-contrast, and becoming more pronounced over the years as silver darkens and gold does not. The \u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e versions take the opposite approach: they feature the chasing only on the base and rim, leaving the middle smooth. Both are equally well made; it's a matter of preference, not quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eZaramella Argenti\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufactory has been operating since \u003cstrong\u003e1948\u003c\/strong\u003e in Ronchi di Villafranca near Padua, now in its third generation. It produces both secular tableware and ritual objects and supplies specialized retailers throughout Europe. SilberKosmos is an official dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor what occasion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah.\u003c\/strong\u003e At thirteen or twelve years old, a child becomes religiously mature within the community — the most common occasion for gifting ritual silver. A \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/kiddusch-becher-925-silber-signature-10cm\"\u003eKiddush cup\u003c\/a\u003e is the classic gift here: it will be used from that day on, for a lifetime, and bears the name and date on its base. It often comes from grandparents or close family friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor weddings.\u003c\/strong\u003e A couple hosts their first Shabbat and needs the basic equipment: cups, a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/challah-platte-925-silber-signature-48x36\"\u003eChallah plate\u003c\/a\u003e, a pair of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/kerzenleuchter-925-silber-signature-klassisch-39cm\"\u003ecandlesticks\u003c\/a\u003e.

Here too, it doesn't have to be the largest — it can be supplemented later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs a donation to a community.\u003c\/strong\u003e The large pieces in the line — the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/eliyahu-becher-925-silber-signature-51cm\"\u003ecup of approx. 51 cm\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/eliyahu-set-925-silber-signature-50cm-ensemble\"\u003eensemble with plate\u003c\/a\u003e — are made for rooms, not dining tables. They are donated for an anniversary, inscribed with a dedication, and then stand in the same place for decades. For the community, such a piece is a sign of appreciation that everyone who enters the room sees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd for oneself.\u003c\/strong\u003e Many of these pieces are not given as gifts, but are bought for one's own table — by people who want something lasting instead of their previous makeshift item. That, too, is an occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEngraving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany pieces have smooth areas that can be engraved — a name, a date, a dedication. This is common for ritual objects: they are given for Bar and Bat Mitzvah, weddings, or births and are later passed down in the family. An engraving turns the item into a family heirloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe check in advance which surface is suitable and coordinate the size and position with you. If desired, we can include a SilberVerse card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn cups that are passed down through generations, multiple engravings are often found one below the other on the foot rim — a name, a year, and below it the next. Such pieces are not worn out, but embraced: the depressions darken, the raised areas remain polished from many hands. Whoever buys a cup today is deciding about something that will still be on a table in thirty years — in the same family or in a community to which it was donated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy hand with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly — including the inside.

A Kiddush cup is small and light enough to be held steadily in the hand for the duration of a blessing — for this piece, about 10 cm and approx. 125 grams.

The blessing is not short, and the cup is filled to the brim. A cup with a wide base can be safely set down in between without tipping over — and it stands on the set table as an object in its own right, even when no one is holding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approx. 230 grams, this piece is significantly heavier than a footless cup.

Over the years, the interior wall would become dull, and the taste would suffer. An \u003cstrong\u003einterior gilding\u003c\/strong\u003e places a layer in between that does not react.

Practically, this means that some liquid will spill when lifting and setting down the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's exactly what the plate is for. It catches what overflows, protecting tablecloths and wood. At the same time, it visually elevates the cup: on a set table with dishes, candles, and bread, the Kiddush cup would otherwise be lost among everything else – on its own plate, it gets a stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, both the cup and the plate in this line are offered individually and as a set.

The technical term for this is \u003cstrong\u003epartial gilding\u003c\/strong\u003e — also known as \u003cem\u003eparcel-gilt\u003c\/em\u003e in silversmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique requires two steps. First, the piece is completely chased, then the areas that are to remain silver are masked, and only the exposed parts are gilded. Each leaf edge must be cleanly delineated; if the gold bleeds, the work is ruined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effort explains the price difference compared to the monochrome models of the same line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Dark Background\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween the tendrils, the silver appears significantly darker than on the raised areas. This is \u003cstrong\u003eoxidation\u003c\/strong\u003e: the indentations are deliberately darkened to give the pattern depth and to make the gilded leaves stand out even brighter against them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout this contrast, such a densely chased ornament would visually merge – especially by candlelight. The dark zones are therefore not tarnish and not a defect, but intentional. They should be preserved during polishing; whoever cleans them away deprives the piece of its definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCup and Plate as a Unit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate has a \u003cstrong\u003eround indentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in the center, where the cup sits.

On the table, objects then stand side by side that do not belong together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is particularly noticeable when the density of ornamentation and polish diverge: a densely chased plate under a simply crafted cup looks as if one has chosen the wrong thing — even if both pieces are beautiful in themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e design solves this within a series.

With a 33 cm goblet, it becomes a long-distance image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason lies in the distance from which one views the piece.

With a round plate, the diameter would have to grow significantly to still have a rim; the piece would become expansive and difficult to place. A square of the same edge length offers additional space in the corners without appearing larger overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second is practical.

A cup that is filled for decades needs both.
