This oval 26,7 x 29,5cm plate of the beautiful Apila series of table ware designed by Birger Kaipiainen is one of the very earliest produced. The plate is in a very good, almost unused condition. It is produced in June 1970 according to the markings on its underside.
Birger Kaipiainen (1915-1988) is one of the most successful and well known ceramic artists in Finland. The Apila table ware set, delicately decorated with Clover flowers and leaves, was introduced in the early seventies. Pieces of this beautiful, rare set are very sought for.
This old item item is in an excellent condition but has one inborn dark bluegreen ink stain within/on the enamel layer (apparently of the same stain that was used when labeling the plate).
This is taken into account when setting the price for this item.
