Storka – Low Side Serving Bowl (27 cm)
Hand-formed using traditional Sejnane pottery methods in northern Tunisia, Storka is the side-serving bowl within the Artisan Ceramic Tableware collection.
Its lower walls and wider opening allow ingredients to spread naturally while remaining easy to access from multiple places around the table.
This form is designed for shared dishes that accompany everyday meals.
Storka is defined by an open bowl geometry.
The bowl features:
-
A flat base that stabilizes food
-
Lower walls than the primary bowl form
-
A wider opening that exposes the contents
Because the walls rise less vertically than Zephyr, the bowl encourages food to spread rather than stack.
This makes the form well suited to dishes intended for sharing.
-
Storka functions as the shared side bowl within the collection.
Primary role
- Shared bowl for side dishes
Secondary roles
- Salad bowl
- Olive bowl
- Fruit bowl
- Small serving bowl for roasted vegetables
Its lower height allows diners to access the contents easily without obstructing the table visually.
Storka works well for dishes placed at the center of the table, including:
- Salad
- Olives
- Roasted vegetables
- Fresh fruit
- Shared appetizers
Because the bowl is more open than a containment bowl, ingredients remain visible and easy to serve.
Storka supports shared dishes within the Artisan Ceramic Tableware system.
It pairs naturally with:
Zephyr — Large Individual Bowl
For individual meals that mix or carry sauce.Zerka — Deep Dinner Plate
For composed dishes served alongside shared bowls.Hout — Large Deep Serving Plate
For larger shared dishes placed at the center of the table.Together these forms create a table that balances individual portions and shared food.
Diameter: 27 cm
Diameter is measured at the rim.
Because each bowl is hand-formed, slight variation in size, rim alignment, and wall height may occur.

Storka is crafted from low-fired earthenware using traditional Sejnane pottery techniques.
