Ulla Procopé for buying Arabia, Finland, Ruska - Large oval platter 14 1/4'' - 1960 design

These large oval platters with rim are part of the dishwasher-proof 'oven-to-table' Ruska service designed by Ulla Procopé for Arabia in 1960. With earthy tones, a mottled brown semi-matte glaze, a smooth, sensuous surface, and a slightly different appearance of each piece Ruska feels like handcrafted pottery even though it was industrially produced.

Ulla Procopé was one of Finland's leading ceramic designers of the 20th buying century who left a lasting impact on mid-century Scandinavian design. She joined Arabia, the Finnish producer of fine ceramic tableware, in 1948 and designed several innovative and successful lines of ceramic products.

Dimensions of each platter: L 14 1/4'', W 9 5/8''.

There are two platters available.

Platter #1: Excellent vintage condition, commensurate with age and use. Few light utensil scratches. Ruska may have some small white glazed overs spots - it's a manufacturing imperfection and a common occurrence in Ruska. Please see the photos and ask me any questions.
Price: $72 + applicable sales tax and shipping

Platter #2: Good vintage condition, commensurate with age and use. Utensil scratches; small chip on the underside, not visible from the top and barely visible from the side. Ruska may have some small white glazed overs spots - it's a manufacturing imperfection and a common occurrence in Ruska. There're a couple 'chip-looking' manufacturing imperfections on the white rim on the bottom - I believe they're rough spots that are glazed over. Please see the photos and ask me any questions.
Price: $65 + applicable sales tax and shipping.
