Kiddush Cup Design

Question

Dear Rabbi–I just purchased a kiddush cup in an antique store. When I cleaned it up, I discovered that it is marked “sterling.” It has 4 cartouche-like areas, one with a magen david, so I am sure that it is really a kiddush cup. A major design element is that the star and almost all designs are done in a zig-zag pattern. There are also band of zigzags across the bowl, the most striking of which is a line that is quite uneven. Can you please tell me the significance of the zigzags–in looking a pictures of antique kiddish cups I noticed that many have this zigzag motif. Thank you for your help. Janet Madden
