These dreidels are actually made out of clay. Why they could have been used by the Maccabees! Choice of matte finish beige with hints of blue; glossy finish with lots of blue; or the signature patina finish. Get one to match your Vichinsky menorah! Each item is individually hand-crafted, using a fine white stoneware clay and glazed. Glaze varies with and within each piece. Each piece is fired to 2200 F, making it durable, safe and functional. Handmade by artists Renee & Howard Vichinsky.
