## Short Description
A finely crafted **Zadok sterling silver Kiddush cup / goblet**, made in Israel, with applied filigree borders and inset hardstone cabochons including **tiger’s eye and agate**. The interior retains a warm gilt wash, giving the piece strong decorative presence as both Judaica and collectible silverwork.
## Full Description
Offered is a striking **sterling silver footed Kiddush cup by Zadok of Israel**, designed in a richly ornamented goblet form with a broad chalice bowl, slender stem, and raised circular foot. Zadok is known for decorative Israeli Judaica in sterling silver, particularly filigree-accented Kiddush cups and ceremonial objects. ([IsraelBookShop][1])
This example is especially appealing for its **cabochon-set jeweled decoration**, with oval stones mounted around the cup body in raised, scalloped filigree bezels. The stones appear to include **tiger’s eye and reddish/green agate-type hardstones**, creating a rich contrast against the darkened silver surface. Comparable Zadok cups are cataloged with hardstone cabochons, applied wirework or filigree ornament, and gilt-washed interiors. ([New Orleans Auction Galleries][2])
The surface shows attractive age-appropriate toning and patina, while the interior retains a bright golden wash. The overall design has a handsome **Middle Eastern / Israeli Judaica character**, combining ceremonial utility with jewel-like decorative craftsmanship.
A desirable display piece for collectors of **Zadok silver, Jewish ceremonial objects, Israeli artisan silver, or gem-set sterling goblets**.
