SERRA DO SOL TEA SET
The Serra do Sol Tea Set by Athens-based ceramicist Anna Karountzou constitutes one out of 25 unique pieces specially commissioned for Mona Hotel. Its name evokes the high plateaus of northern Brazil.
This rainforest bark and deep mossy green tea set is hand-moulded and reflects the artist’s trademark obsession with nature and time. Traditional glazing techniques and experimentation combine a glossy plant-bulb pot shape and handleless cups that look like two halves of a freshly cut forest nut.
We imagine the Serra do Sol serving tea amongst wooden accents, stone counters and warm natural light, each wisp of steam reflecting the mists lifting from the grasses of its namesake.
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.
