A trio of cups, saucers, and cake plates from the Doria series by ARABIA, Finland's leading pottery manufacturer. Doria is a common female name in Europe, and this series designed by Laiya Uosikkinen is based on blue, just like her signature Ali series.

The foam design for this dinnerware set was created by Richard Lind, and the overall design is made from lightweight, thin bone china. It has a similar form to the Pallas series, and the cup capacity is over 100ml, slightly larger than a demitasse cup.

The Doria was created in the mid-century period of the mid-20th century and is characterized by its small size and elegant design. The vividness of the blue color and high level of perfection stand out, with the entire surface coated with blue glaze and the edges outlined in white for a luxurious finish. The edges of the plate are decorated with nuts, and the handle stands up tightly to make it easy to pick up. The mouth of the cup has a sophisticated design that tapers toward the tip.

Raija Uosikkinen

Raija Uosikkinen

Raija Uosikkinen (1923-2004)

Originally from Holoran, a town in southern Finland. Graduated from Aalto University's Faculty of Fine Arts in 1947 and joined Arabia. He worked as an exclusive designer for Arabia for 40 years until 1986, and was responsible for the designs of the Emilia series and Kalevala ear plates. He often collaborated with Kai Franck, with Kai Franck generally providing the form of the product and Uosikkinen providing the decorative design.

Even after Laija Uosikkinen retired from ARABIA in 1986 , he continued to live in a house right next to his company and happily invited the company's current designers and students from Aalto University to his home, providing friendly hospitality while also serving as a mentor to future generations. He is said to have provided guidance. His most famous work, the Emilia series, is said to express his longing for life in the distant United States. After World War II, Finland was never a rich country due to a series of periods of poverty, and the longing for richness during these poor and difficult times is the background behind the creation of this masterpiece.
