SURREAL GROUNDING TEA SET
An eye-catching tea-set complete with teapot and two cups. This set was expertly handcrafted by a local ceramic artist using traditional handbuilding techniques.
Made on a base of speckled clay, the set has a tactility in its glazed finish that when holding the warm cup in two hands gives a sense of ‘groundedness.’ The texture feels earthly, and calmingly so.
Its finish is one of a kind, combining the glazed speckled beige ceramic with overlaid splashes of turquoise, created by a splash of carbon dioxide, like blue water moving across the trio of pieces.
The set’s star feature are its elongated handles that provide its striking, almost fantastical, silhouette. Making this trio look as much at home at an underwater version of the tea party in Alice in Wonderland, as they would on your own salon table.
Fired at 1240°C for high durability.
Set includes: Teapot with lid and two cups.
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.

Glazed ceramics may be able to withstand being put through the dishwasher, though to maintain their original state and ensure longevity, hand washing is recommended.
