■ Product description
ARABIA art department Ateljer GOG One-off tableware. Designer Gunval Orin Grangvist was in charge of designing mass-produced products at ARABIA, and he had his own atelier GOG in-house.
In this atelier, Grangvist creates one-of-a-kind art pieces. This herring platter is one of them. The tableware named Atria GOG is still very popular. The herring fish plate seems to have been produced in a similar way, but many of them have a brown glaze. This is a plate that uses a very rare blue glaze. GOG on the edge of the back is the initials of Grangvist, and PM on the right is the initials of the painter, but the details are unknown.
