The Painted Gold Simanim Tabletop from the Waterdale Collection features Zelda's apple in honey painting printed on crystal clear Lucite with metallic gold detailing that gives it the feel of an original painting.
Freestanding and sleek, it stands upright on the Rosh Hashanah (ראש השנה) table and displays the yehi ratzon (יהי רצון) for each of the simanim (סימנים), from apple dipped in honey to pomegranate, dates, and the other symbolic foods, in nusach Ashkenaz / Sefard.
Wipeable, honey-proof, and waterproof — a gorgeous piece of Judaica for a Jewish New Year gift for any hostess.
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.
