Object Tea cup and saucer from the Rosmarin series by Ulla Procope for Arabia Finland, produced between 1961 and 1974. Hand-painted decoration with deep brown and almost black floral forms set against a soft white ground.
This is a piece made for daily use, but it holds attention through proportion and surface. The contrast between the restrained form and expressive painting creates a quiet tension that works well in both minimal and more layered interiors.
