Sterling Silver Besamim Spice Tower — Israel 925

A beautifully made Havdalah spice tower in the classic Israeli silversmithing tradition — a miniature fortified turret with crenellated battlements, a tapering onion dome, and a pennant flag spinning at the summit.

The body is set with delicate hand-worked filigree panels and scrolled appliqués, and the hinged filigree-framed door swings open on the lower tower to hold your besamim. It stands on a wide domed base raised on four cast scroll feet, giving it real presence on a table or shelf.
