Judaica. Kiddush beaker for Sabbath wine, with the image of the Menorah.
Polish lands of the Russian Empire, second half of the 19th century.
Glass; acid-etching, engraving.
Dimensions: 13,3 x 9.8 x 9.8 cm.
Inscriptions: Hebrew letters נ״ח (“Noah”).

A cylindrical beaker of clear glass, ornamented with a continuous frieze of polished “pearls” around the lower zone and a scalloped band along the rim.
One side bears a frontal seven-branched Menorah with lit lamps, rendered as a ceremonial emblem. In Jewish tradition the Menorah is the principal attribute of the Temple in Jerusalem and a visual sign of divine presence, recalled in the biblical prescription given to Moses (Exodus 25:31, 37). Stylised foliate sprays flank the base, framing the composition in a restrained ornamental register.
The reverse presents a heraldic tableau: two facing lions support a crown, from which cords with tassel-like pendants descend. Radiating strokes around the crown intensify its sacral and emblematic character. Below, the Hebrew abbreviation נ״ח is traditionally read as “Noah”, suggesting an allusion to the biblical narrative, where the righteous patriarch is associated with salvation and renewed covenantal order.
By its iconography and function, the beaker belongs to the material culture of Jewish communities in the Polish provinces of the Empire, intended for the Kiddush blessing over wine on the Sabbath and festivals

A Shot Glass from the Imperial Yacht Polar Star

Of plain cylindrical form with a heavy applied base in deep emerald-green glass, the vessel is engraved with the Russian Imperial double-headed eagle, denoting its connection with official court service.
The yacht Polar Star, built at the Baltic Shipyard and launched in 1890, served Alexander III and Nicholas II as the principal imperial yacht for voyages, naval reviews and diplomatic visits. Its interiors, renowned for their comfort and artistic refinement, rivalled those of contemporary palaces. In the years before the First World War the vessel was closely associated with the travels of the Imperial family, especially the dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, and became one of the most recognizable symbols of the ceremonial life of the late Russian court. Height: 11.2 cm.
