Slightly off the topic but the Corning Glass Museum has a chess set made by an Italian Jew with Hasidim and Roman Catholic pieces. A phot from the Corning website may be seen here:

Slightly below the image are thumbnails for four other views and if you scroll down a bit, you will find information about the artist and when it was created and below that is a description of what the various shapes are based on. I saw it about twenty years ago and today happened to stumble across a snapshot I took of it back then.

Awesome, thanks for posting. Corning Musuem is an incredible place, well worth anyone's visit. They had a glass baseball bat that (if memory serves) had been owned or given to Babe Ruth

It definitely is worth visiting. They do have the glass bat you mentioned and many other fascinating things to see.
