Arabia Finland, Iconic Teapot By Ulla Procopé, Large Brown buy Ceramic Globe Kettle, GA3, 1960s, Scandinavian Design, Very Good Condition
buy **Welcome to Yesterdrops Vintage!**
This is a gorgeous and iconic ceramic minimalist globe teapot designed by Ulla Procopé for Arabia Finland and produced between 1955 and 1972. It features a wicker handle and an earthy brown smooth and matte glaze, underneath is the Arabia stamp and a (hard to see) deep stamp of GA3.
Please take note that the Model GA teapots were designed in two sizes (1.6 L or GA-3 and 0.7 L or GA-1), with two types of glazes (matte and glossy) and in three colors: in black, various shades of brown and white. The teapot in this listing is Model GA-3 with 1.6 L capacity and brown matte glaze.
The condition is very good vintage, the wicker/bamboo handle is in great shape, and there are no chips, cracks or crazing to the ceramic base or lid. The only flaws I can detect are some very faint scratch marks around the base of the teapot, hardly visible unless you inspect closely. There's also a glaze pinprick by the spout from production, please see pictures. Overall a truly wonderful teapot in near excellent shape!
The teapot is a pleasure to hold and beautiful to look at as well as perfect for serving tea for your guests!
Ulrika (Ulla) Eleonora Matilda Procopé-Nyman (1921–1968) was a Finnish designer of ceramics. Procopé was one of the most noted Finnish ceramic designers of the Golden Age of Finnish Design. Her work has been produced by the Arabia company in Finland.
Procopé graduated from the School of Arts and Crafts (later known as the Aalto School of Arts) in Helsinki in 1948 and entered the Arabia ceramics factory directly after graduating. She continued to work for Arabia until her death in 1966. Procopé specialised in creating practical ceramics designs and decorations for daily use.
