Taika (magic) decoration is a combination of hand-painted stripes in brown and a print of blue and white berries.
Arabia Taika has a beautiful Finnish winter atmosphere with snowberries. The dark background gives this series a cozy and slightly mysterious feel, like being in a magical winter forest. The decoration is highlighted by a warm red-brown stripe, which deliciously emphasises the colour of your coffee or tea.
The pattern was made made using the air-brush stencil technique, which leaves the edges of the pattern beautifully soft and fuzzy. This technique has a strong vintage feel and was very popular in the 60s and 70s. The hand-painted stripes used as a finishing touch create a watercolour-like effect and bring variety to the colours and liveliness to the otherwise even printed pattern. The hand-painting gives an authentic artisanal feel to this nordic vintage series.
A mug is a larger type of cup typically used for drinking hot beverages, such as coffee, hot chocolate, soup, or tea. A mug is a less formal type of drinkware, and is not usually used in a formal table setting.
There might be some minor imperfections on these practical mugs, such as a few tiny bubbles, pinholes or dark dots on the glazing. There are also some minor signs of wear and scratches, which don't show well in photos.
