Modern Rosh Hashanah Honey Pot Design: The Star of David Hidden in the Honey

Modern Rosh Hashanah Honey Pot Design: The Star of David Hidden in the Honey

I try to bring something new and exciting to Jewish rituals with every piece I design. This honey pot is a gorgeous and meaningful addition to your high holiday traditions. It looks good and it has a story to tell. PLUS! It can double or triple for our other holidays.

How the Star of David appears in the honey

I designed the honey pot's form so that when you fill it with honey, it settles into a perfect Star of David, or Magen David. The star isn't a decoration added to the honey pot; it's the shape the pot was built from. Every curve and surface has the Jewish star in its DNA. You only see the Magen David once the pot is filled, which means it shows up anew every year when you sit down for Rosh Hashanah.

A second star in the base

Flip the pot over and the foot is a second Star of David. As I always say, more is more, especially when it comes to celebrating the Jewish New Year.

Thoughtfully designed for dipping, not just displaying

The pot is small, squat, and wide at the opening on purpose. It is perfectly sized to get a full apple slice in and out with ease and comfort.

The pomegranate shape, explained

The body of the pot is shaped like a pomegranate, one of the seven species named in the Torah and a classic symbol of sweetness and abundance for the new year. The round body of the pot mirrors the round body of the pomegranate, and the star-shaped foot doubles as its crown.

Glaze options, from rainbow to neutral

This honey pot comes in a full range of glazes, from rainbow colorways to quieter neutrals, so it can sit anywhere from a maximalist Rosh Hashanah spread to a more pared-back table.

Part of a set

The honey pot is designed to join the Feldi Studios kiddush cups and Shabbat candle holders. If you already have either of those, this is built to match. Buy it on its own or build out the full set.

More than a one-holiday piece

While it's designed with Rosh Hashanah in mind, this honey pot is meant to earn its spot on your table year-round. Use it for Shabbos noshes, applesauce with your Hanukkah latkes, or saltwater at your Passover seder.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there a Star of David inside the honey pot?

The pot is shaped so that honey settles into a Star of David once it's poured in. It's built into the shape of the pot rather than added as decoration.

What does the pomegranate shape on a honey pot mean?

The pomegranate is one of the seven species named in the Torah and is traditionally associated with abundance and sweetness, which is why it's a common motif for Rosh Hashanah pieces. The round body and star-shaped crown of this honey pot are both drawn directly from the fruit's form.

Can I use a honey pot for anything besides Rosh Hashanah?

Yes. This pot's small, wide shape works well for Shabbos dips, applesauce at Hanukkah, or saltwater at your Passover seder table.
