About the Item

This exquisite limited-edition porcelain tzedakah box, designed exclusively by Tiffany & Co., stands as a rare and meaningful fusion of Jewish heritage, artistic elegance, and modern philanthropy. Produced in a strictly limited edition of only 1,200 pieces, this remarkable object was presented as a gift of gratitude to distinguished donors to the Jewish National Fund (JNF)—an organization whose mission has been central to the cultivation and development of the Land of Israel since its founding in 1901. Crafted from fine porcelain, the box boasts a refined square form, its smooth surfaces serving as a canvas for hand-painted vignettes that are both visually rich and deeply symbolic. Prominent among these is a beautifully rendered image of the Western Wall (Kotel)—a symbol of enduring Jewish faith and connection to Jerusalem—alongside scenes of settlement building and land cultivation, echoing the JNF’s ongoing commitment to reclaiming, restoring, and replanting the soil of Eretz Yisrael. The paintings are brought to life in vibrant tones of blue, green, ochre, and terracotta, capturing the landscape, architecture, and people with delicate brushwork and narrative clarity. These illustrations reflect not only the historical and spiritual significance of the places depicted, but also the visionary idealism of Zionist renewal that the JNF embodies. In both form and intention, this tzedakah box is a compelling example of how traditional Jewish values—charity, land, and legacy—can be expressed through contemporary design. Its collaboration with the iconic house of Tiffany & Co. elevates it further, merging the worlds of Judaica and fine decorative arts in a way rarely seen. Marked and numbered at bottom

Modern Tzedakah Box by Gruss
Located in New York, NY
This tzedakah (charity) box, crafted by Brooklyn-based artists Lorelei and Alex Gruss in the year 2000, is an exquisite example of Judaic artistry. The design features a silhouette of a cityscape, likely evoking Jerusalem, rendered in gold-toned metal with intricate cutouts. The background is inlaid with iridescent mother-of-pearl, lending the piece a luminous, ethereal quality. Beneath the cityscape, the Hebrew word “צדקה” (tzedakah) is prominently displayed, symbolizing the Jewish practice of charitable giving. Two decorative blue gemstones, set into two stars of David, enhance the front, adding a touch of color and sophistication. The box’s wooden structure complements the gold-toned metal and mother-of-pearl inlay, creating a harmonious blend of materials. This beautifully crafted tzedakah box...
