There are a slew of handmade, soulful menorahs out there: designs made for the Jewish Festival of Lights but also for other occasions that call for candles. Here are five examples made by ceramic artists who produce annual limited-edition menorahs that sell out—so if you miss the one you’re after this year, follow these creators and be at the ready next year.

The Rachael Pots Clay Menorah (@RachaelPotsCeramics) is composed of nine hand-thrown, linked bottles; it's $210 in four glaze options from the Brooklyn ceramic artist’s own studio.

The stoneware JST X B. Zippy Menorah is from Judaica Standard Time (@judaicastandardtime); $200.

The Swey Menorah is by Brooklyn ceramic artist and annual menorah maker Virginia Sin (@virginiasin_); $200.

In her new Portland, Maine, studio, Ariela Nomi Kuh of ANK Ceramics (@a_n_k_ceramics) makes tableware and much-anticipated menorahs in editions of one, priced from $300 to $350.
