Lucite Honey Dish with Gold Accent for Rosh Hashanah

The clear lucite honey dish with a gold accent worked into it — the same straightforward shape as the plain version, with gold at the detail so the piece picks up candlelight instead of staying entirely neutral. Gold against clear acrylic, and against the honey itself, is a warm combination, and this is the version to take if the leichter and the becher on your table are gold-toned.

Function does not change. It holds honey for the apple on Rosh Hashanah, sits at the head of the table where everyone can reach it, and comes clean with warm water. The gold sits as an accent on a lucite body rather than as a metal surface, so there is nothing to bring out and polish before Yom Tov each year.

This is the honey dish people take when the plain one feels too plain for a first Yom Tov in a new home, or when it is going out as a gift and needs to look like more than a dish. It reads as a considered piece without asking much of the table around it.
