Zephyr — Large Individual Bowl (27 cm)
Hand-formed using traditional Sejnane pottery methods in northern Tunisia, Zephyr is the primary bowl in the Artisan Ceramic Tableware collection.
Its proportion balances width and containment, allowing ingredients to gather naturally without spreading too widely.
This form is designed for everyday meals that mix, carry sauce, or combine multiple elements in one vessel.
Zephyr is defined by a stable, contained geometry.
The bowl features:
-
A flat base that stabilizes ingredients
-
Mostly vertical walls that hold food comfortably
-
A rounded transition between base and wall
-
Minimal rim flare
Because the walls rise more vertically than a typical pasta bowl, Zephyr holds volume efficiently without requiring excessive table space.
The full 27 cm diameter remains largely usable inside the bowl.
-
Zephyr serves as the primary individual bowl within the collection.
Primary role
- Individual main bowl
Secondary roles
- Breakfast bowl
- Grain bowl
- Couscous bowl
- Small shared bowl for two people
Meals that mix ingredients or include sauce naturally gather within the bowl rather than spreading outward.
Zephyr supports many everyday dishes, including:
- Yogurt with fruit
- Oats and grains
- Couscous
- Pasta dishes
- One-bowl meals
- Warm stews
The depth helps retain warmth slightly longer than a plate while keeping ingredients contained.
Zephyr works alongside the other forms in the Artisan Ceramic Tableware system.
It pairs naturally with:
For composed dishes served beside bowl-based meals.
Storka — Low Side Serving Bowl
For salads, olives, or shared side dishes.
Hout — Large Deep Serving Plate
For larger shared meals placed at the center of the table.
Together, these forms create a balanced table structure for both individual and shared dining.
Diameter: 27 cm
Diameter is measured at the rim.
Because each bowl is hand-formed, slight variation in size and rim alignment may occur.

Zephyr is crafted from low-fired earthenware using traditional Sejnane pottery techniques.
This method creates:
-
A mineral matte surface
-
Subtle variation in tone
-
Organic differences between pieces
These characteristics are inherent to handmade ceramics.
