AURORA TEA SET
The Canyonlands Tea Set is like a relic pulled from the mesas of the Utah Maze and forms part of a limited collection created by Athens-based ceramicist Anna Karountzou exclusively for Mona Hotel.
This innovatively shaped and expressively coloured set perfectly illustrates Karountzou’s perpetual fascinations with time and the natural world. The pot’s rough, unglazed surface looks naturally rusted, as if shaped by years of use, while the handleless cups resemble the copper striations of sunbaked sandstone.
We imagine the Canyonlands set among terracotta floors and as a retreat from the everyday’s rugged terrain.
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.
