This handmade ceramic washing cup brings the warmth and spirit of Israel into your daily ritual. Created by Batya Erdstein in the Mountain Ceramics Studio in the Shomron region, each cup is shaped, glazed, and painted by hand, making every piece one of a kind. The natural clay body and soft glaze evoke the colors of the surrounding hills, while the hand painted pomegranate adds a symbolic touch of blessing and abundance.
Batya Erdstein, the artist behind each vessel, works with the belief that handmade ritual objects can infuse everyday moments with intention. As a mother of six living in a community rooted deeply in the land, her artistry reflects faith and resilience. Every cup she creates carries a sense of home, purpose, and connection — a reminder that the simple act of washing hands can be elevated when using a piece crafted with love and prayer. Durable, balanced, and easy to hold with its double handle design, this washing cup is ideal for netilat yadayim and daily ritual use. Its handmade nature ensures that no two cups are identical, giving each customer a unique vessel that holds the imprint of the artist who created it.
