Arabia Nyyrikki Platter 36,0 x 26,5 cm, Vintage

Nyyrikki (an old male given name) refers to a spirit or god in Finnish mythology that guards, helps and protects hunters in the woods. It is a hand-painted ornament with round shapes resembling plums in blue and olive green, between blue stripes. Because of the hand-paint and a short production time (only 2 years), the series is rare. Hand-painting is designed to be rough, to ensure the handicraft feeling in the dishes.

A big plate or a platter for serving for example meat or fish. Guests can distribute the food from the dish and share. An oval shape is common, but there are also round-shaped serving dishes.

There are some imperfections on this beautiful platter: some visible marks of use, scratches and some bubbles and spots on the glazing. Please see the photos.
