    An wheel-turned object, thrown by this outstanding Arabia of Finland artist Raija Tuumi. This has been made in the middle of the 1960’s.
    And comes with an extraordinary hooped body and with this glossy cobalt blue glaze over a matte dark brow colored body.
    This is indeed an outstanding example of her work. An absolutely unique studio art pottery items, which you will never find again.
    signed: „Arabia“ - „1965“ - „RT"

    measurements:height 14,8cm diameter 16cm

    Raija Tuumi (1923 - 2016)
    was born in Kiukainen and went to the ceramic department at the Art Industry School from 1946 to 1949. Short after Tuumi started to work at the Arabia Art department, where she did these fantastic uncomplicated shapes, often with patina from metal oxides. Tonality is scarce and the colors ascetic. from time to time Tuumi used shining cobalt blue glazes, sometimes with elements of purple and green, to counterbalance this austere, as this stunning piece shows

    She throwed her pieces by hand and you will often find circular traces of her hands, like here. In 1974 when the Arabia Art department was refurbished, she left Arabia and founded her own studio Jousapot where she continued to throw in a smaller scale. Sadly she passed away last year.
