STOMATA SERIES 3
Taking its name from the microscopic pores in plants, a vital botanical feature of the life-giving carbon cycle, the Stomata vase from Athens-based ceramicist Anna Karountzou is a nature-inspired oblong homage to summer-dried flora.
Matte glazed in dusty clay tones and shaped like a curled hollow flower bud, this vase is softly textured, handworked and offset for a presentation which flows with instinctive and ergonomic decorative arrangements.
We imagine it holding summer orchids on a bright windowsill for a dash of studied calm against the rus
Athens-based ceramicist Anna Karountzou blends raw elegance with traditional craftsmanship. With a background in the conservation of artworks and antiquities, Anna brings an understanding of materials to moulding and handling clay. With absolute discipline and focus on detail, she creates her own glazes favouring the tactile and functional aspects of the craft. Her one-of-a-kind, hand-thrown pieces draw inspiration from places she feels connected to, and pay homage to the natural world with a contemporary feel.
Inspired by nature, Anna is obsessed with the marks of time, evidently present in the essence of corrosion that her ceramics exude, seeking the nostalgia of the old. Formed by traditional hand-building techniques such as the coiling method, her works are each made by hand, and constitute entirely bespoke pieces where no one is the same. All pots have been fired at a high temperature to ensure their durability.
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.
