The collection was exhibited at the Arabia Museum in Helsinki during the period 2/9 – 30/10 1994. The Exhibition Catalogue was written by Bo Gyllensvärd, Heikki Hyvönen, Marjut Kumela, Leif Sourander and Jouko Tiainen. The collection was then sold as a hole to the present owner, thence by descent.

More information

This striking style was achieved by painting in underglaze-blue, applying a normal colourless porcelain glaze and firing the piece. After firing, the yellow enamel was applied to the ground area, carefully avoiding all the areas with blue-underglaze painting. The piece was then refired.
