Arabia Bullfinces in Juniper plate | von Wright

Decorative Arabia Finland wall plate featuring Punatulkkuja katajassa (Finnish for Bullfinces in Juniper), a detailed bird scene by Finnish artist Ferdinand von Wright.

The plate belongs to Arabia’s Pikkulintuja (Small birds) series and was produced in Finland during the 1980s. The image has the finely observed character associated with von Wright’s bird paintings, with careful attention to plumage, posture and the surrounding vegetation. A narrow gold rim frames the composition and gives the plate a finished decorative appearance.
