Description: 'Mayim Achronim' Last Waters Jug / cup and Bowl / basin. Hebrew text on the rim of the bowl along with etched floral decoration. No hallmarks, so unknown if silverplated or pewter. Bowl is raised on cylindrical base. Jug fits snugly into top opening of bowl. At the conclusion of a bread meal, there is a mitzvah to wash one's fingers before Birkas Hamazon. This mitzvah is called mayim achronim (the final waters, as opposed to netilas yadayim at the beginning of the meal). Hallmarks: None Approximate age: Previous owner reports approx. 40 years old (circa 1980). Dimensions: diameter 4.25" tall when assembled. Pitcher alone is 3" tall with base diameter of 2.5", and longest depth of 4". Bowl / basin is 2-3/8" tall with 5.5" top diameter / 2-1/8" base diameter. Condition: Very good condition. No mentionable issues. Left unpolished, so some streakiness -- leaving for buyer preference. No pings, dings, dents, bashes, flat spots, carbon spots, gouges, unusual scratches, or other blemishes. Unpacked weight: 12 oz. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt
