This is a fine set of six Ruska Pottery cups and saucers - which are made of chunky stoneware and all have a rustic mottled matt brown glaze.
“Ruska” means “autumn” in Finnish and it was used by the designer Ulla Procope to evoke the earthy and rustic colours of the Finnish autumn landscape. The glazed surface was created with an unusual decorating method: powdered black iron was sprayed on top of a matte base glaze, giving each piece a slightly unique artisan and smoky look. The traditional rustic colour of the glazing shifts in tone from paler to more deep tones.
This is a handy set of little coffee cups and matching saucers. They were created by the celebrated designer Ulla Procope. The white printed mark on the base of each piece - has sadly disappeared over time - but these are clearly genuine vintage Ruska pieces.
Arabia Pottery is always made to the best quality - and these Ruska pieces are quite exceptional. They are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. No scuff marks on the saucers.
Dimensions: Each cup is 3 inches in height - and has a diameter of 2 3.4 inches. The saucers have a diameter of 5 inches.
Selling at a unit price of just over £12 for each cup and saucer. So we have a grand total of £75.
Due to the weight - it will have to be for UK posting only. I will send it with Parcelforce tracked delivery so I can pack it up safely in a large sturdy box. This will cost £10 and applied to your order at the checkout.
I have some other pieces of Rushska in my online store - these can be added to your parcel at no extra postal cost to you.
