Jerusalem Dreidel Hand-Painted Limoges Box

A dreidel spins into porcelain here, decorated with a Jerusalem theme that ties the Hanukkah game to the holy city. Artists in Limoges, France, painted the dreidel by hand to make this porcelain Limoges box.

Spinning Toward Jerusalem

The dreidel has been part of Hanukkah for generations, its four sides recalling the miracle of the oil. Linking it with Jerusalem gives this piece added meaning, joining a festive custom with a place at the heart of Jewish history and faith.

Eight Nights of Light

• Dreidel form with a Jerusalem theme
• Fits a Judaica, Hanukkah or holy land collection
• Pairs with menorah, Star of David and Torah pieces

Around the Menorah

Set it beside the menorah during the eight nights, on a sideboard with a bowl of gelt, or on a bookshelf with family prayer books the rest of the year. It makes a meaningful present for a bar or bat mitzvah, a rabbi, a synagogue volunteer, or a family celebrating their first Hanukkah in a new home. Collectors of Judaica often keep a dreidel or two among their holiday pieces. Since each dreidel is painted by hand, the Jerusalem details vary slightly from piece to piece.
