Faces at the Table
Ceramic Dinnerware Collection
Linda Terrell
2025

Faces at the Table features seven ceramic platters and one serving bowl. Each piece is painted in a rich, white glaze background adorned with colorful, contrasting faces that have been hand sculpted in clay, that are positioned slightly off centered of the platters and then one that sits directly in the center of the serving bowl. The faces are painted in bold, solid colors with various hair types and when arranged in a circle around the center bowl that has rainbow colored strips radiating outward form the center, they create the illusion that the rainbow continues in a swirling pattern onto the table, entertaining all who gather around with joy, love and and light.

"Faces at the Table is a dinnerware collection that is reminiscent of my upbringing in Lafayette, Louisiana. In my French creole culture, food, family and fun is always present at the table. We eat with our heart, embracing love, laughter, and abundance an abundance of good food. Southwest Louisiana is known as having an array of colorful people full of personality with "Joie de Vivre" meaning exuberant enjoyment of life."
