Shared Table Set
A three-piece ceramic serving set designed for shared dishes at the center of the table.
This configuration combines a large serving plate with two open serving bowls, supporting meals where food circulates naturally between diners.
Each piece is hand-formed in Sejnane, Tunisia using traditional earthenware pottery methods.
The Shared Table Set focuses on the serving vessels within the Artisan Ceramic Tableware collection.
At the center of the table, Hout provides a broad serving surface designed for larger dishes. Its rising walls help contain oil, sauce, and mixed textures while keeping the dish visually open and easy to serve from multiple sides.
Alongside it, two Storka bowls support smaller shared dishes. Their lower walls and wider opening allow ingredients to remain visible and accessible, making them well suited to salads, olives, roasted vegetables, fruit, and other circulating dishes.
Together these three pieces create a flexible serving arrangement that supports a shared table structure while remaining compact enough for everyday meals.
Each piece is hand-formed using traditional Sejnane Pottery methods in northern Tunisia. Slight variation in shape, rim alignment, and surface detail is a natural result of the handmade process.
This set is designed around the shared center of the table.
Hout anchors the table with a larger serving dish, while Storka bowls circulate smaller dishes between diners.
This arrangement supports a meal structure where food is served from shared vessels rather than individual portions.
The pieces can also be combined with individual plates and bowls from the Artisan Ceramic Tableware collection to create a complete table configuration.
The Shared Table Set supports many types of shared dishes, including:
-
large salads
-
roasted vegetables
-
couscous platters
-
bread and spreads
-
olives and appetizers
-
fresh fruit
The open bowl structure of Storka keeps dishes visible and easy to serve, while the wider surface of Hout allows larger preparations to spread naturally across the plate.

This set can be combined with individual place settings from the Artisan Ceramic Tableware collection.

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.
