American artist Amy Klein Reichert designed this seder plate that represents the two states of the story of Passover. The first, the state of slavery, is represented by the limestone base, where the seder foods that symbolize slavery (haroset, maror and hazeret) sit. The second state in the story of Passover is the state of freedom.  Freedom sits above slavery unemcumbered and lighter.  The position of this polished brass plate also symbolizes the higher spirituality of the Israelites. The seder foods of freedom (the shank bone, egg, and karpas) go on the higher platform. The two planes are connected within a stream of salt water, representing the role of the Red Sea in the Jews' freedom and also serve as a connection point of the two states. The dry limestone in the middle represents the road to freedom through the sea and supports the brass plate.  Made in the USA.
