Sense – Norway's most complete tableware collection

Sense – Norges mest komplette servise

Are you setting the table for everyday use or a celebration, and want dinnerware that can do it all? Then Sense from Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik is probably the series you're looking for. With a total of 46 different pieces, Sense is by far our largest and most complete dinnerware series – and one of the most beloved porcelain series in Norwegian homes, restaurants, and canteens.

In this article, we'll take you through what makes Sense so versatile, showcase some of the favorite pieces in the assortment, and explain the difference between the round and square shapes – so you can find exactly the style that suits your table.

Our largest and most comprehensive dinnerware collection

Sense was designed with one goal in mind: to meet every need at the table, whether it's an ordinary Tuesday dinner or a larger party. The series is therefore built with far more pieces than most other dinnerware sets – from plates, bowls, and side plates, to pizza plates, tiered serving dishes, gravy boats, egg cups, sushi sets, and taco sets.

It is precisely the breadth of the assortment that has made Sense one of the most widely used dinnerware sets in Norwegian restaurants, canteens, and hotels, in addition to being a public favorite in private homes. The clean, white color and simple lines mean that the series fits into almost any style – from the minimalist kitchen to the classically set festive dinner.

Sense is also sold with a lifetime guarantee: should you get a chip on the edge of the porcelain, you can exchange the piece for a new one. This makes Sense a safe and long-term choice for those who want a dinnerware set they can build upon for many years.

Angular shapes – for a modern and structured look

If you want a more architectural and modern look, Sense also offers several of its most popular pieces in a square shape: Square plates in 20.5 cm and 27 cm, available individually and in 4-packs Square bowls in 16, 18 and 21 cm Small square bowl of 10 cl, perfect for side dishes, sauces or small portions The straight lines and sharp edges of the square pieces give the table a more stringent and modern expression, and work excellently for everything from everyday meals to trendy serving of tapas and small dishes. Tip: Because Sense is designed with a consistent, clean design language, you can freely combine round and square pieces on the same table. Many, for example, choose round plates together with square side bowls, or vice versa – this way you get a table with personality, without it becoming cluttered.

Taco night with Sense

Taco night is one of the week's most popular dinner traditions, but the serving table can quickly become messy with many small bowls and dishes of varying shapes. With the Sense 7-piece Taco Set, you get a cohesive and well-thought-out solution that makes it easy to keep everything organized, from guacamole and salsa to grated cheese, salad, and sour cream.

The pieces in the set are designed to work together, both in appearance and size, so that the table maintains a tidy and consistent look even when filled with many small dishes. Because Sense is originally our most complete dinnerware series, the taco set naturally complements the rest of the range – for example, you can supplement with Sense's oval bowls or the ovenproof bowl with a wooden lid to keep tortillas or taco shells warm throughout the meal.

The result is a taco night that is as practical as it is inviting, without you having to search for suitable bowls in the cupboard every time it's Taco Friday.

Sense Sushi Set – 2 people

Bring the sushi night home with a complete and elegant set

The Sense Sushi Set is the perfect solution for those who want to make a homemade sushi dinner a more elevated experience. Designed for two people, the set includes everything you need for a complete and stylish serving: two sushi plates, two small bowls for soy sauce or other accompaniments, as well as two chopstick rests and two sets of chopsticks.

With its clean, white design, the set naturally complements the rest of the Sense series, giving your table a cohesive and modern look – whether it's a quiet sushi night for two or a more festive occasion. The plates are practical in shape and provide ample space for nigiri, maki, and sashimi, while the small bowls keep soy sauce readily available throughout the meal.

The sushi set is also a thoughtful gift idea – both for the sushi enthusiast who already has everything, and as a nice start for someone looking to incorporate more style into their own kitchen.

Like the rest of the Sense series, this set is also durable for everyday use: it is dishwasher and microwave safe and comes with Porsgrund's chip warranty – so you can safely use it again and again.

Pizza fat in the Sense series

For pizza night, Sense offers a dedicated 31 cm pizza platter, allowing you to serve pizza at home with a little extra restaurant feel. The platter is a good size for individual pizzas and works equally well for store-bought pizzas as for homemade varieties – straight from the oven to the table.

Serving tip: In the picture, you see the pizza platter in use with a pizza cutter from our DeCuisson series, where the blade itself is made of porcelain. Porcelain is very hard – almost on par with diamond on the hardness scale – which means the blade stays sharp for a long time, never rusts, and does not affect the taste of food in the way a steel knife can. The combination of a Sense pizza platter and a DeCuisson pizza cutter provides a holistic and thoughtful serving experience, with two complementary series from Porsgrund.
