Three days ago I headed off to the Salvo's and was attracted by these two chocolate (or coffee) cups and saucers. It was the shape that attracted my eye .... I turned over the cup and there was no mark ...
The mark was under the saucer! Arabia of Finland !!!!
I was really surprised with the form and the decoration. It just looked too 'refined' for Arabia. More fool me, I suppose. Definitely Scandinavian Modern but with a traditional European elegance.
The mark is one used by the factory during the period 1949 to 1964. "Export market mark (1949-64), also widely used for the home market."

I believe the mark also includes a date code for March 1962.
But the design is a mystery ....
Both the design name and its designer have so far eluded me.
I'd appreciate any help from the CW Crew !!!!
I love the two stripes: really elegant.
Many thanks MIKELV !!!!!
Wow love the colors and the mystery!!
Many thanks SEAN ... I've looked around replacements.com but haven't found it !!!

Thanks Thomas. I’m more into coffee caffeine than tea. Hot Chocolate works for me too. I just had my bunions done and am feeling a little down ..... so a cuppa tea might pick me up. Thanks for the thought.
