Arabia Rosmarin Jar, Vintage

Rosmarin (rosemary, a herb) features hand-painted flowers, leaves and stripes in a beautifully warm reddish brown tone.

The highlight of this design is the artful and calligraphic brush-strokes, which have required extreme skill. Arabia was indeed much admired for the talent of its ceramic painters. The hand-painted nature of the pattern makes each dish excitingly unique and the colours shift in tone from pale watercolour washes to deep and luxurious tones. This change in colours give the simple design an exciting illusion of three-dimensionality and depth.

This nordic vintage design and decoration were both made by the same artist, Ulla Procopé. The decoration was also made in blue under the name Anemone.

A Jar with a lid can be used as a candy pot, as a can for tea leaves, or as vessel for marmalade.

This part of the series is much rarer than the others. Buy it while it is in stock as finding new stock will probably take a while!

This beautiful hand-painted Rosmarin jar has some small imperfections on the glazing, such as tiny bubbles or lumps. Also, the unglazed bottom rings of the lids have some tiny chips. Please see the additional photos.
