Arabia Yours or Mine Wall Plate, Vintage

Arabia HLS wall plates with animal-themed painted decorations are a rare treasure of ceramic art. They were designed by Heljä Liukko-Sundström for the members of the Great Finnish Book Club (SSKK Suuri Suomalainen Kirjakerho) in the 1990s. Only a limited edition of 600 pieces were made, each signed on the front by the artist.

In her own sweet style, Heljä has drawn animals loved by Finns – familiar to everyone from the garden to the summer cottage (squirrels, crows, hedgehogs and black-throated divers). The series has four wall plates: Early Bird, Our Sunrise, Yours or mine, and Nesters.

A decorative plate made to be hanged on a wall like a painting.

This lovely wall plate is in good vintage condition and ready to be hanged on the wall. It has minor marks of use, such as a few tiny scratches on the unglazed edge of the plate.
