Here they are, fresh out of the kiln.
You'll find them in person at my Gallery Downstairs at 196 Windsor Way, and on my website, which this blog is part of... Or call 732 492 8558 and reserve something for a look-see.
The two previous Seder plates, which are large, very simple ivory colored shapes (quiet parchment color, not bright white) with black lettering, have been taken down to $65 each from $95 and $85 till Passover, because I've had them for a couple of years and want to make room for more this year.
Although quite simple in appearance, these were deceptively hard to make, as the technique lends itself to cracking as it dries, so I had few in the first place; now there are only two. (Shipping varies- West Coast is about $21, $33 to rush, and east coast zones more like $12.)
I've tried various ways of making Seder plates over the years. Recent ones, thrown on the wheel instead of handbuilt, have the most strength and durability. One cracked in the drying. One came out really well. And one is for the blooper reel...
The 1 new Seder plate:
12" diameter by 2" high. Underglaze drawing on porcelain (2232 degrees F), clear glazed. $85.
and can be found here in more detail:
You can just see the red color of the side. Bottom is unglazed, and signed.
The matzah plates are between $54 and $58 , depending upon size. These are for machine (square) matzahs. Nobody's asked for matzah plates for the round handmade matzohs (that would be a nice pairing, don't you think?) but I would make some for next year if there's interest. (These are a good bit larger. Price would be probably between $60 and $80 depending what I do with the design.)
I have some beautiful goblets, as seen in Judaica on my website, and three cute and characterful search-for-chametz candleholders (NOT on the website yet, but found in my gallery, $35 each- Contact me if you'd like one. Time is getting short to ship anything, though).
These are essentially the same, except I played with the shape of the handle, looking for balance. They are about the same when it comes down to it. They have large candle openings, good for an old-school Shabbat candle to be stuck in and melted on (the opening is roomy).
May all your celebrations be joyful!
