Description
This exquisite Alhambra Seder Plate Set by Liz Lauter is designed to be big, beautiful, and ornate, yet compact enough to fit comfortably on any table without taking up too much space. Its elevated design creates a stunning focal point while preserving precious table real estate.
The six-pointed Star of David aligns perfectly with the six symbolic spaces on the Seder plate, each featuring a shallow dish that fits neatly into the star’s triangle points. During the Seder, each dish can be lifted individually to display its contents and reveal the Hebrew labels painted on the main plate beneath.
When not in use as a Seder plate, the pedestal platter doubles as an elegant centerpiece, ideal for serving desserts, cheeses, or fruit.
- 17.5” x 5”
- Includes platter, six matching plates, and an Elijah’s cup
- Handcrafted using traditional majolica techniques with terra cotta clay
- Part of a limited series of only three pieces
- Each piece is handmade, so slight irregularities in surface and form are intentional and add to the artistry
- Hand-wash only

Liz Lauter is a California ceramic artist based in West Marin, north of San Francisco, who makes colorful, hand-painted Judaica. "Creating Judaica is like bringing the most honored guest to a celebration," she has said. Her Judaica is an expression of her Jewish roots growing up in multicultural San Francisco, surrounded by Mexican folk art and Italian culture.
She started young, learning ceramics at 11, and later studied art and botany, finishing a BFA at UC Davis in 1978. From 1984 to 1988 she lived in Israel, studying garment design at Bezalel in Jerusalem and running a fashion studio there. She taught high-school ceramics at Redwood High School in Larkspur from 2000 to 2019, studied majolica ceramics in Deruta, Italy in 2018, and retired in 2019 to focus on her studio.
Her menorahs and seder plates draw on the Arbol de la Vida, the Mexican Tree of Life, painted on both sides with birds, leaves, fruit and flowers. At ModernTribe that means Tree of Life menorahs in several sizes, a Long Menorah, and a Seven Species seder plate set.
