BISCUIT MUGS
The Biscuit Mugs bring a blend of raw elegance and traditional craftsmanship to your tea (or coffee) ritual. Crafted from beige stoneware clay with black sand and featuring a unique twisted ceramic handle, this duet of mugs captures the artist's attention to detail and distinctive aesthetic.
Each mug is glazed on the inside and high-fired at 1240°C, making them both durable and tactile. Pair them with the Biscuit Tea Pot to complete the set.
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.

For ceramics glazed only on the inside (like these) washing and drying by hand is recommended.
