This cheerful and playful ceramic cookie jar by Tom Otterness features a mama bear and her two cubs that are climbing all over her. Perhaps in search of cookies? The mama bear's head is the lid of the jar which has a bright yellow interior.

This seder plate by Tom Otterness 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 is limited to 100 and is signed and numbered on the back. It can also be used in conjunction with the stunning Elijah Cup which is sold separately.

"Elijah Cup" by Tom Otterness is a sterling silver goblet that, when covered, symbolizes the earth 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" (sold separately). 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 is limited to 150. Each cup is signed and numbered on the bottom.
