Jewish Washing Cups
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when choosing a washing cup?
▼
The most important thing is that the cup has two handles - that's what makes it practical for pouring water over alternating hands. Beyond that, it's really about your style. Our collection includes stainless steel cups as well as hand-painted ceramic pieces with traditional motifs like pomegranates and Jerusalem scenes. Some of our washing cups also double as vases or decorative objects when not in use, so they don't just live under the sink - they earn a spot on the counter.
What is the best choice of material for a washing cup?
▼
Your choice depends on your preference and where you’ll use it. For high-traffic kitchen sinks, a stainless steel or acrylic washing cup is ideal because they are durable and shatter-proof. For the Seder table or a formal Shabbat setting, a ceramic or silver-plated washing cup can add colour and elegance.
Is a washing cup a suitable wedding gift or gift for a Seder host?
▼
Absolutely. A Jewish washing cup is the kind of Judaica that people use every single day but rarely think to buy for themselves. It's practical, it's meaningful, and a beautiful one becomes a fixture in someone's kitchen for years. Pair it with a challah board or candlesticks for a thoughtful gift set.
