This is a ca 13cm high jar with lid of the beautiful Apila series by Birger Kaipiainen. It is in very good condition without cracks or chips. The lid has some staining at the inner border (see pictures). And the basic color of the lid is very slightly beiger than the jar itself (being more white). The Jar is labeled 4-70, so it is produced in April 1970.
Birger Kaipiainen (1915-1988) is one of the most successful and well known ceramic artists in Finland. The Apila table ware set was in production in the early seventies, and pieces of this set decorated with cloverleaves and white cloverflowers are very sought for.
In the last pictures you see this item as well as some other items that we have of this series.
