This is a masterpiece Valm made in mid-century by Finland's leading tableware manufacturer ARABIA. The flowers on the surface are beautiful and elegant, and the saucer is also decorated with flowers. The red flowers are called daisies, the blue flowers are called bellweed, and the white flowers are called marguerite.
Until the early 1970s, tableware manufactured by ARABIA was stamped with the year and month of manufacture. This saucer is stamped with the numbers 2-67 (February 1967) and 5-69 (May 1969) on the back, indicating that it is a work from the so-called mid-century golden age. The form design was by Ulla Procope, known for Valencia and Ruska, and the pattern designer in charge of the decoration was Estel Tomura, known for Crocus and Botanica. It is a prototype model for the two's joint work Flora, which was announced later.

Esteri Tomura has a congenital dwarf disease and initially majored in pottery at Aalto University of Arts in Helsinki, but due to physical and physical reasons she was unable to handle clay satisfactorily. Therefore, he gave up the path of pottery and sought his own expertise in design.
