I know it is just a cup with two handles, but we have an extra netilat yadayim cup that is very decorative. I am okay with it being used for its intended purpose, but what is the law on using the cup for, say, a toothbrush holder, a vase, a soup bowl, etc.

TIA.

  • It doesn't say anywhere in the laws of Netilas Yadayim that you can't.

The cup used for Netilat Yadayim, even if it is designated - or even created - for the purpose of washing one’s hands, isn't a holy item. As such, one can use it for any purpose.

Source here: https://www.yeshiva.co/ask/58242 "The cup does not have to be set aside for only this use – and one may take a cup that was used for drinking etc, and use it to wash with. One may also use a cup that was used for hand washing for other uses (such as drinking from, or watering the plants)."
