Simply adorned or boasting ornate decorations, every Passover Seder plate features settings for each of the Seder's symbolic foods: Maror (bitter herbs), Karpas (green vegetable), Beitzah (egg), Zroah (shank bone), Charoset (mixture of apples, wine & nuts) and Chazeret (bitter vegetable). the antique plate is the treasure to pass through to generations.
