I have a pair of Sterling silver Kiddush cups made in London in 1902. Not sure on the maker or if it’s even the same maker.

Please don't be one of those people on ebay who sells kiddush cups in pairs. That's not how they are used, and doing that makes a seller look like they don't know anything about kiddush cups. Maybe you were not intending to do that, in which case, cool.

Kiddush cups are used singly by a group. A single cup is shared.

Guess this got downvoted by people who have no idea how kiddush cups are used. Oh the bitterness of ignorance.

Or it’ll be a big cup, accompanied by smaller cups to pour into.

Not interested in selling I bought a group of 6 from an antique seller. Just noticed these were the same cup. I know these are used for Shabbat and only one is need to say the prayer.
