Handcrafted by Zeina Aboul-Hosn
Pure Lebanese clay · Chouf Mountains · Limited series

Shaped in collaboration with a master artisan, this piece draws from the humble traditional Lebanese casserole. Zeina Aboul-Hosn reimagines the form through her glaze—a departure from the classic transparent finish—infusing it with a contemporary soul while honoring its ancestral roots.

The clay is hand-processed by master potters, from the Chouf region in Lebanon, who have passed down their techniques for generations—honoring tradition while embracing innovation.

Every form Zeina creates is an exploration—of land, material, and process. She works intuitively, letting the clay guide her, revealing its natural texture, strength, and imperfections. Her pieces are marked by generosity and presence, inviting touch and contemplation.

A co-founder of the Clay Stories Collective, Zeina is at the forefront of a movement redefining Lebanese clay in a contemporary context. Each piece carries the weight of history and the spark of reinvention—an object both grounded and poetic.
