Seder Night Bowl Made of Tin - Europe, 1842

Passover plate (bowl). Europe, ca. 1842.
Cast and engraved tin; marked on reverse with maker's mark and dated.
Designed according to a pattern apparently created in Germany in the first half of the 19th century (a very similar ceramic plate, dated to the first half of the 19th century, can be found in the collection of the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw).
Engraved at the center of the plate is the "Passover Sacrifice" - a lamb, surrounded by the plate's simanim, inside circles decorated with delicate vegetal motifs. Engraved on the margins are the inscription "Seder Ha'Ke'ara" (the plate order) and the Seder simanim (from "kadesh" to "nirtze") - each in an elliptical frame whose margins fuse with the margins of the nearby frame.
Diameter: 34 cm, height: 3 cm. Good overall condition. Slight defects and some stains.
