MIDNIGHT MENORAH

According to Jewish tradition, the original temple menorah was made of gold, almond-blossom-shaped cups.  This modern riff on that design inspiration lets you scatter individual almond blossoms in a shallow pool of water.  The pool both reflects the candlelight, and provides a dramatic and clean way for the candles to sizzle out as they burn down. Each midnight blue ceramic bowl is hand-made in Chicago by master potter Chris Busse, color and shape vary slightly. It makes a lovely centerpiece which will enchant your guests at Hanukah and beyond! Available from this website, and Celebrations the Jewish Museum Design Shop, NYC
