Description

Made for the Jewish religious festival of passover, this excellent silver piece is a continental-made multi-tiered Seder tray. Although there are specific rules for the items and arrangement of foods on these pieces, there are little instructions pertaining to their actual design, hence the variety and creativity of such pieces, including this one, for which the places for the symbolic foods are decorated with charming and superbly-worked sculpted figures, baskets, bowls, and birds. While its exact origins are unclear, it is undeniably a wonderful piece with which to celebrate this festival.
