Arabia Of Finland Ruska Coffee Pot. Vintage. 1960’s.

Arabia Of Finland Ruska Coffee Pot. Vintage 1960’s. This was Arabia’s most famous pattern. This Pot is one of two that I own. Therefore, due to downsizing I am selling one. This pot has never been used. It is perfect other than one small and barely noticeable flaw in the glaze on the lid of pot. There are no chips or cracks to the pot. Arabia Of Finland was established in Arabia, Finland in 1873. Ruska is an earthy and rustic oven to table dinnerware series designed by Ulla Procope of Finland in 1960. It is extremely strong and durable. It truly can take a great deal of abuse and will last a lifetime. Ruska became a symbol of Finnish design abroad. The stoneware body is hand glazed in a mottled satin glaze in shades of brown. It is not uncommon to see a small flaw in the glaze here or there on these pieces as each one is hand done and unique. The pattern was discontinued in 1999. Ulla Procope was a well known ceramic artist and designer in Finland from her early years until her death and is responsible for some if Arabia’s most famous patterns. It is of the highest quality and has a beautiful look in any decor. 7 inches tall with lid. 8 inches wide from handle to spout. It holds approximately 6 larger cups of coffee. For the expression or Turkish coffee lover it holds at least 12 cups. Coffee stays good and hot in this pot. Magnificent modernist design.
