This is a fine set of three larger-sized Ruska Pottery coffee 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 - useful to replace any that are broken in your coffee set. 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 1/2 inches in height - the diameter is 3 1/4 inches. The saucers are 5 1/2 inches in diameter.
Selling at a unit price of £14 for each cup and saucer. So we have a grand total of £42.
I will probably be able to post these to you in the UK with Royal Mail Recorded Post - this will cost £4.95 and applied to your order at the checkout.
