TULIP VASE
The Tulip Vase is a testament to the fusion of nature and craftsmanship. Handcrafted from white earthenware clay and adorned with volcano rocks gathered by the artist herself on the island of Santorini, this vase embodies Anna's dedication to her artistry.
Glazed inside with a clear finish and fired at 1100°C, the Tulip Vase is not only water-tight but also serves as a striking blend of elegance and raw beauty. With its unique texture and timeless form, this vase is perfect for both showcasing floral arrangements or standing alone as a work of art.
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.
