RAJA TEA SET
The Raja Tea Set recalls an adventure, an inward excursion from the rushing shallows of the Ganges river mouth to the cool hilltop breezes of the blue city of Jodhpur. Teatime isn’t just any time—its your time to dream.
Anna Karountzou’s turquoise, black and adobe coloured pot and two matching cups are handmade individuals, lovingly formed and corroded with nostalgic sentiment in mind.
We imagine this tea set as a decorative gem, a focus-pulling meditation guide to complement subdued early autumn tones.
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.

This tea set is designed to be used with hot water and may be able to withstand dishwasher temperatures. The handles, however, are delicate and could sustain damage.
We recommend handwashing to ensure longevity and appearance.
