Armenian Handpainted Ceramic Washing Cup

This Hand washing Vessel is not just a useful article for the hand washing ritual—it is a work of art. Hand painted by Armenians of the Old City of Jerusalem, this glazed ceramic vessel depicts a colorful scene of the Old City on a cream background. Against the backdrop of Jerusalem are the Hebrew words "Netilat Yadaim". The Old City tableau is framed by a decorative yellow and blue border. The handles also have a decorative pattern.
