Ruska (autumn colours, brown) is one of the most beautiful words in the Finnish language, meaning autumn colour. The design has a calm and relaxed atmosphere, which brings to mind autumn evenings camping or sitting by a cozy fire.
The rustic and earthy look defines this extremely popular series. Ruska’s rugged surface was created with an unusual decorating method: powdered black iron was sprayed to a matte glazing, giving each piece a slightly unique artisanal and smoky look. The colour of the glazing shifts in tone from paler to more deep tones. This change in colours gives the design a rustic feel.
Ruska is currently one of the most popular vintage designs we have. The original 1:st class production of Ruska series was stamped partly on top of the glaze and it often has worn away in use. That is why the stamped Ruska dishes are more rare. This series always sells out quickly, so we recommend you click the “Add to Wishlist” -button to be first to know when new stock arrives!
A plate mainly for soup, that can also be used as a bowl for breakfast, pasta, rice or side dishes. These small bowls have convenient handles so they work as for both eating and serving of small side dishes. Heat-resistant oven dish or a small casserole are suitable for cooking food in an oven. You can serve it directly from the oven to the table and even keep it in a refrigerator. When serving hot food, you can easily use the matching series bread plates under the bowls.
Please note that there are no Arabia labels on the bottom of these bowls because they have worn out in use.
These vintage soup plates are in good condition. There are still tiny scratches inside the plates. They do not show well in photos.
