Pewter Plate wedding gift , Moravia, 18th century, From a private collection Very rare heavy Pewter plate dated 1776, presented by the Chevra Kadisha _ Burial society of Kostelitz to a bride and groom on the occasion of their engagement and wedding, inscribed in Hebrew ” present from the burial society of Kostelitz to the Brides side Reizel and the groom Isaac Kenig ” signed off by the Gaboim and Rov. It seems that in that area the Burial society would present brides and grooms with a gift.
