This edition of the Studio’s decorative vessels presents an updated design inspired by a medieval Judaica illumination in a Thirteenth Century CE manuscript (MAS Arch Seld A6 fol 1 verso Germany). The original manuscript came to be part of the Selden collection in the Seventeenth Century CE. John Selden was an English Parliamentarian, a jurist and scholar both of ancient English law and Jewish political thought. A biographical summary of Selden’s significance can be read at SELDEN, JOHN - JewishEncyclopedia.com and a good book about his legacy is “John Selden and the Western Political Tradition” by Ofir Haivry.

The edition features formed heavy gauge copper and kiln-fired opaque enamel glass inlay (champlevé). After the vessel is formed, an intricate design of multiple individual cells is acid-etched as a center roundel in the copper.  Multiple kiln firings of vitreous enamel glass slurries in the individual cells, guided by direct visual inspection, yield the finished glass inlay design.

After the multiple kiln firings are finished, the metal "reserve", surrounding the glass cells, is energized by applying the Studio's formulary blend of patinas.

The plates in this edition measure approximately 12" diameter x 0.5" high and present the inlay design and color as pictured, with slight variations in each work.

Included in the price of the plate is the accompanying stand; the total display height is approximately 17".
