TOM OTTERNESS
Seder Plate and Elijah Cup"Seder Plate" provides a new and innovative approach by a contemporary sculptor to the traditional story of the Exodus from Egypt. The compartments for the ritual food are set into a symbolic Red Sea, with Moses parting it. The remaining images, drawn from the Passover Hagaddah include the ten plagues, Aaron's staff turned into a serpent, the Paschal lamb and the four sons, who support and elevate the plate.
The edition, which has been published by Artes Magnus, is limited to 100 and is signed and numbered on the back. The edition "Elijah Cup" is sold seperately but may be used in conjunction with "Seder Plate".

Elijah Cup (Open)
Tom Otterness has created an edition entitled "Elijah Cup". The sterling silver goblet, when covered, symbolizes the earth and is held up by two 24 karat gold vermeil figures.
"Elijah Cup" can be used during the Passover Seder either alone or in conjunction with the artist's "Seder Plate". It can also be used as a non-religious object to commemorate a wedding, anniversary or other ceremonial occasion and functions as a traditional cup on any table.
The edition, which has been published by Artes Magnus, is limited to 150. Each cup is signed and numbered on the bottom.
