SARGASSO TEA SET
The Sargasso Tea Set by Athens-based ceramicist Anna Karountzou takes its name from the pearly sand beaches and swirling currents just off the northeastern American coasts.
The tea pot and matching cups’ murky lilac-blue shades and dappled rusty undertones contrast with the bases’ warmly grounding island of light fawn.
This cleanly hand-moulded and glazed ceramic set is designed to complement contemplative autumn and winter tones and warm interiors. We imagine the Sargasso set accompanying crisp coastal air and long afternoons spent in the heat of treasured arms.
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.
