Arabia Finland Ruska Stoneware Collection 55 Pcs – Ulla Procopé

A rare and substantial collection from one of Scandinavia's most iconic and collectible tableware series — the Ruska line by Arabia Finland, designed by Ulla Procopé and introduced in 1960. Ruska's signature warm, mottled brown matte glaze is the result of natural variation in the firing process, giving each piece a unique, lava-like artisanal character. Earthy, tactile, and unmistakably Nordic — this is exactly what made Ruska a design classic, and why collectors continue to seek it out decades after production ended in 1999. Complete Ruska services of this size are increasingly rare, particularly in the UK, making this an exceptional find for collectors or those furnishing a home with icons of Scandinavian design. Included (55 pieces): 10 Dinner Plates – 26cm|10 Soup Plates – 20cm|10 Side Plates – 18cm|7 Saucers – 16cm|12 Cups – 10cm|1 Coffee Pot|1 Casserole/Serving Dish – 23cm|1 Large Serving Platter – 34cm|2 Milk Jugs – 10cm. Condition: Good vintage condition throughout. 4 cups and 1 milk jug have minor chips, disclosed honestly. All pieces carry the Arabia Finland maker's mark to the base. Glaze remains deep and rich across the collection. Shipping & Collection Note: Dimensions listed are based on the largest individual item in the collection (the serving platter, 34cm). Due to the total weight of the set, pieces are carefully packed across 3 separate boxes. Please bear this in mind when arranging delivery or collection. Selency's A-Z delivery service is available and recommended given the fragility and weight of the stoneware.
