Shabbat cup

A cup used for a ritual toast during the Shabbat. Its shape is not precisely stipulated, as is the case with other ritual cups, and its purpose is distinguishable only from the Hebrew inscription “Shel Shabbat” or “Shabbat”. It is usually made of silver, less frequently of silver-plated copper or copper alloy. Glasses or glass cups also occur often.
