Birger Kaipiainen designed BK-model service for Arabia in Helsinki in 1968. Paratiisi (Paradise) is the most known decoration for this set. The white, undecorated version, Eeva (Eve), was mentioned only in the year 1970 pricelist. Aatami (Adam) was decorated with a blown yellow glaze, it was in production in 1970-1974.
Until 1974 all the BK model was made of hard faience and the shape of most of the plates was oval.
Because of the short production time of the monochrome white and yellow versions are a rare treasure. Mix and match the different versions of the decoration to create an elegant table setting and food presentation.
A deep and covered bowl for serving soups or stews. These serving bowls were not used for cooking or preparing food, simply for the pure joy of presentation.
This original and rare vintage bowl has minor signs of wear, such as small scratches, and a dent on the edge of the lid made during the production. There are also tiny lumps, bubbles, uneven spots, and splash of brown paint on the glazing. Please see additional photos for examples.
