Glaze and craftsmanship
Each piece is one of a kind.
Each vessel is individually handcrafted, finished by hand and high-fired. During this process, the clay shrinks naturally, so dimensions and capacity may vary slightly from the stated values, typically by up to ± 5 %. Minor irregularities in shape and contour are likewise marks of handcraft and do not affect stability or function.
Our effect glazes develop individual colour gradients, depth and subtle variations in sheen during firing. Small differences in colour intensity, glaze flow and surface texture are characteristic of handcrafted ceramics and highlight the uniqueness of each piece.

Brief Description
Handcrafted luxury ceramics made of high-quality stoneware, food-safe and suitable for standard household dishwashers. The Kylix serving bowl reinterprets the ancient drinking vessel as a contemporary ceramic serving bowl with a foot, created for hot and cold dishes, table culture, hospitality, and everyday use.
The Form
Inspired by the ancient kylix, one of the most elegant drinking vessels of Greek antiquity, XENIOS translates its characteristic shape into a stoneware serving bowl in this version without handles. The raised foot and open bowl shape recall the historical model and translate its posture into a usable object for today's table.

Usage
Whether for salads, rice dishes, shellfish, vegetables, fruits, bread, pastries, desserts, antipasti, or artfully arranged appetizers, the Kylix was created for actual use. As a bowl with a foot, it is suitable for both hot and cold dishes and lends every arrangement a special presence. In this way, it combines the function of a serving bowl with the expressiveness of a historical form.
What Makes It Special
While the ancient kylix was originally a drinking vessel, XENIOS translates its open form into a contemporary serving bowl for table culture and hospitality. The design as a serving bowl without handles makes the shape particularly versatile and brings a millennia-old idea into modern use.
The Meaning
Zeus Xenios, the patron god of guests and hospitality, is the origin of our name. For millennia, vessels like this have been at the center of significant human moments: festive meals, philosophical conversations, and ceremonial gatherings. Those who hold this bowl in their hands hold not just ceramics, but a form with meaning and millennia of European history, which lives on through XENIOS and celebrates every moment anew.
