Jewish gifts - unique designs and styles on hand painted tiles

Name plates > Home decor tiles > Jewish gifts - Tell A Friend

Welcome to Jerusalem Pottery's Jewish gifts page - Our family tradition of hand painting tiles and Jewish gifts started in 1922 when a group of craftsmen, including my grandfather, was invited from Turkey by the British mandate to renovate the tiles of the Dome of the Rock. My grandfather stayed on in Jerusalem to open a ceramic

workshop with his partner. Today, our workshop is located in Jerusalem's Old City, where we continue to make Jewish gifts, name plates, and other tiles for home decor.

Unique Jewish gift designs

Our designs are inspired by local ancient mosaic floors, psalms and blessings from the Torah, and the Gates and street names of Jerusalem.

Before 1967, my father made the street name signs of the Old City of Jerusalem in English and Arabic. After 1967, Teddy Kollek asked my father to add the Hebrew names for the street signs.

These Jewish gift tiles can be used as wall hangings, or accents installed in a kitchen wall, fireplace, bathroom, table top, counter top, and anywhere else where you may need tiles with vivid colors and unique designs. As gifts, they are also available with a wood frame.

The Zion gate tile is part of a series of tiles with different gates and streets of the Old City of Jerusalem. Other gates and street names available:

• Jaffa Gate
• Damascus Gate
• Lion's Gate
• Dung Gate (appropriate to hang over your bathroom door)
• David Street
• Via Dolorosa
• Jewish Quarter road
