This antique is a beauty. A Netilat Yadayim two-handled copper washing cup (often referred to as a natla) is a traditional vessel used in Jewish rituals for spiritual hand purification. The dual handles are designed specifically to ensure ritual purity; they allow you to alternate hands during the washing process without a pure, washed hand touching the unwashed handle, thereby preventing cross-contamination. Authentic antique and high-quality vintage copper Netilat Yadayim cups carry immense historical and spiritual character, showcasing decades (or even centuries) of ritual use. Genuine antique copper cups feature distinctive traits such as hand-riveted handles, dovetailed seam construction, internal tin linings, and a natural, unpolished verdigris patina.
