"Land of Milk and Honey" Serving Set by Yaara

 

Israeli ceramicist Yaara Nir Kachlon has created an exclusive collection of useful ceramic objects for the Jewish Museum Shop. Crafted in Yaara's northwestern Negev, Israel studio, the grouping is produced in a creamy white finish that has a silky lightweight feel, but is durable for use in the oven, microwave and dishwasher.  

 

The Land of Milk and Honey Serving Set features this title phrase centered on the large platter. The phrase is used in the Bible to describe Israel, suggesting a land that is abundant and fertile. The set is intended by the artist for use on Rosh Hashanah for dipping apples into honey and includes a smaller bowl to hold honey.  The large platter is perfect for apple slices.  Yaara believes, "we should enjoy the simple things in life, but never in an ordinary way," which makes this set a wonderful holiday piece for sharing tradition and beginning a sweet New Year.

 

 

Made in Negev, Israel.
