Dinner Service Sets

A dinner after a successful hunt matters almost as much as the hunt itself. This category covers dinner service sets for hunting lodges, trophy rooms and dinners with the hunting party: a large service with forest animal motifs, a tea service, shot glass sets and forks with antler-style handles.

Who these sets are for

These sets are for hunters and hunting lodge owners who want a properly set table after a day outdoors. They work for everyday use in a trophy room and for an occasion dinner with the whole hunting party, and the forest animal motifs and antler-shaped handles make clear what the table is for.

The large dinner service with forest animal motifs (24 pieces) is the central set in this category, sized for a full dinner with the whole group after a driven hunt or a stalk. Smaller sets, such as the tea service or the shot glass set, round out the table before the main course or after it, once nobody wants to leave yet.

Types of service sets

The assortment covers six sets with different roles, from a full dinner service to standalone shot glasses and forks. Each one suits a different moment at the hunting lodge table, so it helps to know how they differ.

Dinner sets

The large dinner service with forest animal motifs (24 pieces) is the main choice for dinner after a hunt, since the plates, bowls and other pieces carry a deer, boar or other forest animal design that fits a lodge. The goulash set (9 pieces) suits a shorter, heartier dish, such as game goulash or a stew that warms you up fast after a cold day outdoors.

Tea sets

This 14-piece set is built for a hot drink after the hunt, when you need to warm up before crossing wet ground or once you are back from it. It works for a morning coffee before a sit in the high seat and for an evening tea once the day is done and everyone compares notes.

Shot glass and drink sets

The noble drink bottle with 10 shot glasses and the ceramic shot glass set (6 pieces) are for the strong drink traditionally used to mark a successful hunt or a trophy taken. The bottle with glasses suits a full hunting party at the table where everyone needs their own glass, while the smaller ceramic set works for everyday use or a tighter circle.

Antler-handle cutlery

The ARTURE fork set with antler-style handles (6 pieces) is cutlery shaped to imitate antler, so it fits the forest-animal motifs and the trophy-room setting as a whole. It suits both an everyday table and a dinner for guests.

How to choose a service set

Choose based on how many people usually sit at your table and whether the set will see daily use or only occasion dinners. Four points are worth checking before you buy.

1. Piece count: a larger service (14 to 24 pieces) suits a group, a smaller set covers two or three people.
2. Purpose: separate a dinner set from a tea set or a shot glass set, since each suits a different moment at the table.
3. Motif: forest animal or antler-handle designs suit a trophy room better than an everyday kitchen set at home.
4. Material: ceramic and porcelain differ in weight and care, which matters if the set travels to and from the lodge.

Practical advice for the hunting lodge

At a hunting lodge, dishware often sits without regular care between weekends or seasons, so pick sturdy, easy-to-clean sets and store them in a dry cupboard. Wash and dry pieces fully before a long break so no damp smell sets in by the time you open the cupboard again.

Porcelain and ceramic pieces at a hunting lodge often pass through many hands in a single evening, so it helps to pick sturdier models that hold up to heavier use than an everyday set at home. When several people take turns hosting at the lodge, one fixed set kept in the same drawer or cupboard saves time when it is time to set the table.

If you mark a trophy or the end of a season at the lodge, keep at least one larger set on hand, such as the dinner service with forest animal motifs, plus a shot glass set, so the table is ready for both a normal dinner and an occasion evening with the whole party. A shot glass set is especially useful once a long sit in the high seat or a driven hunt is over and everyone wants to trade stories at the table.

A gift for a hunter

A dinnerware set with forest animal motifs or forks with antler-style handles also works as a gift for a hunter: someone close to you, a colleague from the hunting party, or yourself after a good season. A gift like this gets used for real instead of sitting on a shelf, since it connects directly to what the person actually does.

Brands

ARTURE makes the antler-handle fork set, the only named brand in this category. The rest of the sets are sold without a separate manufacturer name.
