TOASTED TEAPOT
This tea set is handcrafted from stoneware clay that has had black sand mixed through it, giving it its subtly speckly look and textured finish.
Both the teapot and cups were crafted using traditional handbuilding techniques, then glazed in tones of natural clays and toasted browns. The set features a unique multi-layering of glazes, especially seen on the cups that have layers of brown and green glaze on the top.
The set has been fired at 1240°C to ensure durability.
Set includes: Teapot with lid, tea cups are sold out.
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.

Glazed ceramics may be able to withstand being put through the dishwasher, though to maintain their original state and ensure longevity, hand washing is recommended.
