This is a vintage salt box from ARABIA, a tableware manufacturer representing Scandinavian Finland. While designer Gunvar Olin Grangvist was in charge of designing mass-produced products at ARABIA, he also had his own atelier, an in-house workshop, where he collaborated with painters to create handmade pieces.

ARABIA pottery engraved with Ateljer GOG is still very popular. This is a salt box that is one of the atelier's works. The leaf pattern with the petals in the center is vibrant and the colors are artistic. The bottom is signed with Grangvist's initials GOG and the initials of the artist.

There is a nail hole in the middle of the flower picture at the top, so it can be hung on the wall. You can place it on a table, etc. and use it as a storage space for small items or as interior decoration.

ARABIA - Arabia

ARABIA factory

ARABIA is a ceramic manufacturer representing Finland in the 20th century. Originally, ARABIA was a factory established in Finland by Sweden's Rörstrand as a base for producing pottery for Russia. The company's name comes from the fact that it was established in the Arabian district of Helsinki, the capital.

From the 1950s to the 1980s, many world-famous designers such as Ulla Procoppe, Birger Kaipiainen, Laiya Uosikkinen, and Esteri Tomura created many works, known as the Golden Age of ARABIA. Works that had a great influence on modern modern design were created at the time, from simple Scandinavian modern designs to highly decorative and well-crafted pieces. ARABIA is known for its masterpieces such as paratissi, crocus, flora, and corari, which are both practical and decorative items unique to Scandinavian tableware that are useful for both interior and everyday use.
