Arabia Rosmarin Pitcher 1,1 l, 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 Jug/pitcher is a vessel for serving water, tea, coffee, milk, juice or beer at meal time. You can also use it for serving liquid seasoning, or as a vase for flowers.

This beautiful pitcher is in good vintage condition. There are some minor imperfections: the glazing is slightly uneven and it has a few tiny lumps, dents or bubbles. The hand-painting has been a bit inaccurate and there is some extra paint on the handle and inside the pitcher. Please see the photos.
