Vintage Arabia floral porcelain service parts, * The Design Style: The "swirl" fluted relief on ivory porcelain was very popular in Finland during the late 1940s and early 1950s. It reflects a transition from traditional European "Old World" styles to the cleaner lines of Mid-Century Scandinavian design. * This ensemble captures the essence of mid-century Nordic romanticism. The service is characterized by its "swirl" or fluted relief pattern, which adds a tactile, sculptural dimension to the porcelain. Each piece is adorned with a deep magenta or burgundy floral spray, lending a timeless, cottage-core aesthetic to any table setting. * Set Details & Dimensions The service is perfectly proportioned for an intimate afternoon tea or a formal coffee gathering: 1.Creamer and sugar bowl - are features a graceful swan-neck spout, a sophisticated scrolled handle, and a matching lid topped with a classic finial. 2.Six Tea Cups: Dainty yet functional, measuring 5 cm in height with a 9 cm diameter.

Please check my other active auctions to complete the set! * Condition & Craftsmanship: The bottom stamps confirm its origin: "ARABIA – Made in Finland." The ivory porcelain is known for its durability and soft luster, which provides a warmer, more inviting backdrop than stark white china. The gold trim remains a bright highlight, framing the delicate floral artwork. Exelent condition - seems, it was not in use! * Historical Context During this era, Arabia was the largest ceramics factory in Europe. Designers like Olga Osol were famous for creating these types of romantic, ivory-toned services (like the famous Myrna pattern) which became staples in Finnish households for Sunday coffee and special celebrations. This set is a classic example of this "Golden Age" of Finnish porcelain, combining the durability of industrial production with the delicate hand-finished feel of the gold rims and floral transfers. ----- * I package everything very carefully. to get your item safely to you. * I shipped next day after payment receiving (not in weeckend). * I am happy to be flexible to make this purchase as convenient as possible for you upon receipt to avoid additional costs - let me know if you have any requests. * I will be happy to get a feedback after receiving.
