Moorish menorah

Catalog number 3

Materials: Porcelain with slip-trailed decoration
Dimensions: 14 in. across, 8 in. high

This design was inspired by synagogue facades which were themselves inspired by the Moorish architecture of their time. The small dots of blue are slip-trailed, which means they have a raised surface and character that cannot be achieved with painted decoration.
