AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title
Greece, studio ceramics made of stoneware, multicolored clay glaze, Atelier Kamini, circa 1960–1975
Description
Handmade stoneware can feature a powerful yet refined pear-shaped body, a slender neck with a slightly outward rim, and an organically shaped ear-like handle. The object is crafted in a characteristic natural clay glaze, consisting of a warm sand to beige-colored, lightly matte base over which a broad horizontal band in deep iron brown is applied. Subtle dark brown to nearly black edge zones are visible along the transitions, created by controlled glaze flow during firing, giving the surface a lively and nuanced appearance.
The glaze has a tangible, lightly satin-like surface with natural color variations, characteristic of Greek studio stoneware from the 1960s and 1970s, where craftsmanship, material expression, and the firing process were intentionally left visible. The sober, functional design aligns with the international studio ceramics movement, while the warm color palette and earthy glaze effects clearly reference a Mediterranean tradition.
The underside is unglazed and fitted with an embossed maker's mark 'KAMINI,' indicating artisanal production in small series. Height 16 cm, diameter approximately 9 cm, weight 390 grams.
Condition
Used condition. No cracks, chips, or restorations observed. Light signs of use and minimal wear on the underside, consistent with age and normal use.

Biography maker / factory
Kamini was a Greek studio workshop, active in the second half of the 20th century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, when Greece experienced a renewed interest in artisanal ceramics within a modern design idiom. The workshop produced hand-turned stoneware objects in small editions, combining traditional Mediterranean forms with contemporary, internationally inspired glazing techniques.
Kamini's work is appreciated for its consistent quality, natural glaze palette, and authentic appearance, and holds a recognizable place within the post-war Greek studio ceramics landscape.
