Seder Plate
“Flight to Freedom Seder Plate”

Passover which marks the flight from Egypt across the desert and through the parting of the Red Sea, is represented by the bird at the centre of the plate. The bird symbolizes the flight to freedom. The old and the new are combined here, as the bird and the dishes are antique.

“Jade Seder Plate”

The petal shaped dishes created in high polished pewter form a flower, as a reminder that Passover often coincides with the arrival of spring. Each of the symbolic foods is named and hand pierced from the pewter and affixed to the stone.

“Miriam’s Cup”

Miriam’s Cup was introduced to not only honour Miriam, but all of our women ancestors, and is filled with water. is said that Miriam, the sister of Moses, summoned water from the living well when she danced and played her timbrels. This helped to sustain the Israelites as they wandered in the desert, and Miriam’s words of comfort and healing gave them hope when they were losing faith.

The cup is created in hand blown glass and high polished pewter. The cobalt glass with bubbles within, reminds us of the water that Miriam summoned. Miriam, in Hebrew, is hand pierced on the base. If you give the glass a shake, you will hear Miriam play her timbrels!
