Zelda's painting of an apple in honey is printed on crystal clear Lucite with a metallic gold addition, making the Painted Gold Simanim Card by Zelda from the Waterdale Collection look almost like an original artwork.
It displays the yehi ratzon (יהי רצון) text for each of the simanim (סימנים) — apple dipped in honey, pomegranate, head of the fish, and the other symbolic foods of the Jewish New Year — in either nusach Ashkenaz / Sefard or Edut Mizrach.
Set one at each place, or add a Lucite base to stand it upright as a centerpiece. The card is wipeable, honey-proof, and waterproof to make it a beautiful and practical Rosh Hashanah gift.
This collection gathers hand-painted Simanim pieces — trays, cards, and tabletop plaques — finished with painted artwork rather than etched, printed, or plain glass designs. Two design directions run through the line: a honeycomb motif tying into the apple-and-honey siman, and gold or colored painted cards by artist Zelda. Both bring a more artisanal, decorative look to the Simanim seder.
The honeycomb design ties directly to the best-known Rosh Hashanah siman — apple dipped in honey — appearing across the tray, card, and tabletop plaque in this collection for a coordinated look. It's one of the most popular painted motifs for Rosh Hashanah tableware. Pairing the honeycomb tray with the matching card and tabletop plaque gives a fully coordinated set.
Zelda is one of the artists behind Waterdale's hand-painted Judaica line, known for gold and richly colored painted Simanim cards. Each card is painted by hand, so subtle variation between pieces is part of the design rather than a flaw. Her cards are offered in both a gold and a colored palette within this collection.
No — hand-painted pieces should be hand-washed, since dishwasher heat and detergent can fade or chip the painted design over repeated cycles. A soft, damp cloth is enough for regular cleanup between uses. Check the specific product's care notes, since sealants can vary by piece.
The Honeycomb Simanim Tray is a sectioned serving tray for the symbolic foods themselves, while the Painted Gold Tabletop Simanim is a freestanding card or plaque displaying the blessings rather than holding food. They're complementary pieces rather than substitutes for one another. Many hosts use both together at the table.
Hand-painted pieces read as more special-occasion and collectible than printed alternatives, since each one is individually painted, making them a popular gift for a new home, a wedding, or a Rosh Hashanah hostess gift. A single painted card is an affordable gift option, while the tray makes a larger centerpiece gift. Either way, it's a piece that returns to the table every year.
