The Hosting Table Set brings together the full table structure of the Artisan Ceramic Tableware collection.
Each diner receives a Zerka plate and a Zephyr bowl, allowing meals to move easily between plate-based and bowl-based dishes. This combination supports everyday foods such as pasta, grains, vegetables, soups, and composed meals.
At the center of the table, two Storka bowls introduce shared side dishes. Their open structure allows ingredients to remain visible and easily accessible, making them suitable for salads, olives, roasted vegetables, fruit, or small shared preparations.
The Hout serving plate anchors the table. With its wider diameter and gentle containment, it allows larger dishes to spread naturally while remaining easy to serve from across the table.
Together these eleven pieces form a complete table configuration for shared meals, combining individual place settings with shared dishes placed at the center of the table.
Each piece is hand-formed using traditional Sejnane Pottery methods in northern Tunisia. Slight variation in shape, rim alignment, and surface detail is part of the handmade process.
This set recreates a traditional shared table structure built around individual vessels and circulating dishes.
Each person receives:
At the center of the table:
-
Storka bowls circulate shared side dishes
-
Hout anchors the table with a larger central dish
This arrangement allows meals to move between individual plates and shared dishes, supporting a relaxed rhythm of serving and sharing across the table.
-

-
couscous served from a central platter
-
pasta dishes accompanied by shared salads
-
roasted vegetables and grains
-
bread with olive oil and spreads
-
large salads and vegetable dishes served across the table
The combination of plates, bowls, and shared vessels allows dishes to circulate easily between diners.

Each piece in this set is hand-formed in Sejnane, a pottery region in the Northwest Highlands of Tunisia, known for its longstanding earthenware tradition.
The ceramics are made from low-fired earthenware and shaped individually by hand. Because of this process, slight variations in size, rim alignment, and surface finish may occur from piece to piece.
These variations are part of the material and making process.
