CALLISTO TEA SET
At late evening when colours fade towards the nighttime black, the Callisto Tea Set offers a floating lunar stillness. Its turquoise and russet palette recalls the cool mineral glow and warm iron traces of the distant moon of Jupiter that shares its name.
Athens-based ceramicist Anna Karountzou’s exclusive collaborative series with Mona Hotel focuses on the tension and interplay between the natural world and the emotive nostalgia of passing time. The colours of the hand-shaped pieces curve and flow around their bodies in modest yet direct visual patterns.
The Callisto set would complement a marble coffee table and weathered wood fixtures where the tones can lift against shadow and settle into the grain. A relaxed and gentle glitter against the dark
A Mona commission in collaboration with the artist.
This is a limited collection of 25 unique handmade ceramic tea pots, diverse in shapes and textures, each with 2 or 4 matching cups. The materials and glazes’ earthy tones correspond with Mona’s interior elements.
Karountzou finds inspiration in nature, obsessed with the marks of time evidently present in the essence of corrosion her ceramics exude. All pots have been fired at a high temperature to ensure durability.
Formed by traditional techniques such as the coiling method, her works are each made by hand and constitute one-of-a-kind pieces.
Karountzou’s most recent experimentation with clay results in a sculptural breed between gothic and industrial, where clay takes on a metallic glaze.
Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book.

This handmade glazed ceramic piece may be able to withstand dishwasher temperatures, but we recommend handwashing with warm water and non-corrosive soaps to ensure longevity and avoid chipping.
