True Confession: The customer selected a beautiful Bullseye cranberry that had purples and blues subtly woven in. Despite my best efforts, the cranberry glass developed a severe case of devitrification. My attempts to resolve it failed. And of course I didn't have another piece of cranberry large enough to start over. The clock was ticking and the plate had to get done .... get shipped to the mid-west....and arrive in time...IN ONE PIECE!
This amazing piece of glass revealed itself in my storage bin.... ! This piece has incredible movement and depth of color. Fortunately the customer agreed with me...and I am thrilled to report that it arrived safely...and most importantly, the recipient is delighted with it! Phew!!!
Happy Passover Everyone!
What doesn't show up in the photo is a sprinkling of tiny clear glass shards, remnants of their smashed wedding glass.
I hope they like it!

I did read an article in Alma (https://www.heyalma.com/the-hilarious-reason-why-this-writer-hosted-a-hanukkah-seder/) that described a Chanukah seder inspired by Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
BUT ... Seder plates can be a lovely gift for someone...or yourself at Chanukah time! They also make great wedding gifts, birthday gifts....or a gift for ourself!
This seder plate will be available for purchase beginning November 25th at the ORA Virtual Market Place:

I rarely have many seder plates in stock. Most of my customers prefer commissioning a seder plate/ They want some choice in the design, color, wording...and whether or not they want little insert dishes. I love working with my clients to help them imagine what their seder plate might look like and what symbolism they would like it to carry. You can reach me at sparksofspirit@gmail.com
