DescriptionPorcelain Matzo plate with word 'Matzo' in Hebrew in bold lettering in its centre. The seven scenes of the Pesach story are depicted in vignettes around the edge of the plate, with Hebrew and English inscriptions. The plate is black and white. Its registration number is 699 856. There is an interesting error in the decoration, as one of the vignettes refers to the 'wise sons', where there is only one wise son mentioned in the Haggadah.
