ARABIA Ruska Vintage Tea cup & saucer Purchased directly from a shop specializing in high-quality vintage items at a large market in the Finnish countryside. I bought several that I liked, but as I collected them, the number increased slightly, so I'm offering them for sale. I also use the same type myself. 【Features】 Ruska, which means "autumn colors," is characterized by its rich brown glaze, as the name suggests. It is made of very sturdy material. Designed by a leading female designer at Arabia. This is the original, and various designs have been created since then. It is undoubtedly a representative series of ARABIA. In Japan, items with a clean, even appearance are often preferred and distributed, but this one has a saucer that looks greenish depending on the light and a cup with a folk art slipware-like texture, making it a unique piece. It's an incredibly cool individual piece, and the inside of the cup is especially nice. It might even blend well with Japanese ceramics. Ruska has individual differences, so I hope you'll find it as your favorite piece. It's a teacup, but it's also recommended for onion soup or minestrone. 【Condition】 Although it is vintage, it is in excellent condition with almost no noticeable scratches. I have kept this one unused since I purchased it. 【Backstamp】 Chimney logo from the 1971-1975 era. It is sometimes called a crown, but it actually represents a chimney. It is unknown whether the chimney mark on the saucer was originally missing or has disappeared, but the ARABIA letters remain clearly. The cup has a large chimney mark and a stamp from the early 70s with the name of the parent company at the time, Wärtsilä. Since they are easily removed over many years of use, many have disappeared, so those that remain may have been carefully used. 【Size】 Cup: Approximately φ10cm x H5.3cm Saucer: Approximately φ16.2cm x H2cm Cup capacity: 240ml (full) Thank you. ・No price reduction ・Instant purchase available Brand: Arabia Series: Ruska Series production period: 1960-1999 Material: Stoneware Form/Decoration design: Ulla Procopé
