NEBRASKA CUP
The Nebraska cups speak in the plain, steady language of open fields and long horizons. Their name recalls the quiet distances of the Great Plains, where land and sky meet in a single unbroken line.
Created as one of 25 exclusive pieces in collaboration with Mona Hotel, this pair from Athens-based ceramicist Anna Karountzou embraces a stout silhouette of two-toned restraint. Chocolate over blackened coffee, a subtle sheen from the glaze, all calling to mind a pared-down Rothko study.
We imagine the Nebraska cups amongst woven textiles, unfinished wood and rustic furnishing. A moment of balance, favouring clarity over ornamentation.
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.
