The washing cup is surrounded by a solid blue border with a flower motif painted around the cup. The flowers are connected with a liana of red, yellow, blue, orange and green buds and leaves. Flowers represent harmony and growth and this is captured with the colors which each represent something special. Blue is known to represent tranquility, spirituality and living beneath the sky while orange stands for creativity and a hard-working nature. Green is a symbol of growth and abundance. Washing of the hands is written in Hebrew in bold black writing in the center.

This wonderful washing cup can be used as a decorative ornament or to give guests to wash their hands with before the Hamotzei blessing.

Bring a touch of art, history, culture and Jerusalem to someone's home with this lovely piece.

Note: Armenian ceramics are delicate and should be treated with care. Each piece is individually hand made with the ancient skill of mixing and shaping clay and water and then placing the object in an oven or kiln at a temperature of 1000°C until it hardens. The piece is then beautifully hand painted with metallic and oxidized paint, maintaining a natural color and then placed again in the oven at the same temperature. The finishing touch is one of fine glazing.
