This item was found at a flea market in Helsinki. It's an ARABIA BLACK PARATIISI mug featuring a bold design of fruit-bearing plants. Designed in 1969 by Birger Kaipiainen, a popular Finnish designer, this series is a representative of Nordic tableware. Despite its immense popularity, it was discontinued in December 2005 and completely disappeared from the market. This is a product from the time when ARABIA still had a factory in Finland. The backstamp on the bottom features the old-style crown logo, making it a rare item. The monotone, dynamic design will stylishly enhance your table setting.
