This remarkable silver Passover Seder plate from 1950s Hungary showcases an exquisite three-tiered structure designed to hold matzot, each tier adorned with a finely chased border that enhances its elegance. The tiers are separated by three gracefully crafted spool-shaped supports, lending the piece a sense of balance and refinement. At the base, three beautifully scrolled legs provide stability while adding to the plate’s majestic presence.
Rising above this stunning composition are six meticulously detailed figurines, each lifting a small bowl atop their heads—an evocative representation that may symbolize the Israelites’ burden of labor in Egypt. These bowls, inscribed with the names of the symbolic foods of the Seder, reinforce the deep ritual significance of this exceptional piece.
Further elevating its regal aesthetic, the plate is adorned with three sculpted eagle heads, adding a striking visual element. A masterful blend of craftsmanship, symbolism, and historical reverence, this Seder plate stands as an extraordinary testament to Jewish tradition and Hungarian silversmith artistry.
