Description
The following description was prepared by William Gross:
This wonderfully conceived spice container for the Havdallah consists of a unique bouquet design by Maurice Spertus, the founder of the Spertus Museum of Judaica in Chicago and the late father of Lisa Gross. His conception was based on the flower form spice containers, generally from Ukraine. He felt that if such containers normally consisted of one flower, he wanted to make a bouquet so that every participant in the havdalah ceremony could take part with their own "flower."
