It is a vintage coffee cup from Arabia, a representative ceramic maker in Finland. The series name Tunturi is a very specific word that describes the "mountains" and "hills" of Lapland in northern Finland.
Lapland is an area close to the far north, and the land is desolate in winter, but when the temperature rises in summer, the vegetation in the mountains suddenly becomes rich, so it is known as a treasure trove of alpine plants. The large hand-painted flowers are inspired by the flowers blooming in Lapland. The earth-colored main body reminds us of the land that appears when the snow melts, and you can feel the nature of the short spring that visits Northern Europe. The cup is soft to the touch, and the daisy flowers drawn in chocolate brown are not too flashy and create a calm atmosphere suitable for everyday use.
The form was designed by Ulla Procoppe, who is famous in Valencia. It has the same shape as the big hit model Rusca, and is called the S model. Olga Osol, who was in charge of the pattern design, served for a long period of time from 1924 to 1971 for ARABIA and played an active role for a long time.

Ulla Procope
Ulla Procope (1921-1968)
Born in Helsinki. In 1948 , he graduated from the Faculty of Art and Design at Aalto University in Helsinki and joined Arabia Company. After that, he was in charge of design in the production department for 20 years, creating the Ruska series in 1960 and the Valencia series in 1961 . Ruska became the longest-running and most sold flagship product of Arabia's products, and the form of Ruska was called the S model , which became the prototype model for subsequent ARABIA tableware. Valencia is the last hand-painted ARABIA product. After suffering from cancer and retiring from active duty, Procope moved to Spain's Canary Islands, where he died at the age of 47 .
