Round Star of David Limoges Box

The six-pointed Star of David sits at the heart of this round porcelain box, a symbol that has stood for Jewish identity and faith for generations. Painters in Limoges, France, decorated this porcelain box entirely by hand.

Six Points of Heritage

A round shape keeps every bit of attention on the star itself. There is no busy scene competing with it, just the familiar interlocking triangles presented with care. That simplicity is what gives the box its quiet dignity on a shelf or a table.

A Place Among the Judaica

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a Judaica, faith or family heritage collection
• Pairs naturally with menorah, dreidel and Shabbat candle pieces

Marking Life's Milestones

This is a thoughtful choice for a bar or bat mitzvah, a Jewish wedding, a new home blessing or a conversion celebration. Many families keep it near the Shabbat candlesticks or on a bookcase beside a prayer book, where it is seen every week. Because the round box form dates back to 18th-century France, when small porcelain boxes held snuff, pills and beauty patches, it carries a long tradition of its own alongside the meaning of the star. Grandparents sometimes choose it to mark a grandchild's coming of age, and it is equally welcome as a housewarming present for a couple setting up their first Jewish home together.
