Re: Arabia (Finland)
The quality wasn't as high during the 30s and 40s due to the Depression and the War. The flowering of the company was during the 60s. I'm afraid I don't know their manufacturing techniques but I think there's a machine for making plates and dishes, which were then hand finished.

Arabia Fennia found
Hello newbie to Arabia pottery. I picked up an amazing piece at an estate sale. The little I’ve found in my research lead me here. I know it’s from the early 1900’s. I know it’s part of the Fennia collection. I know there are similar pieces in art museums. Just so fascinated by it and any additional information on it would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Arabia (Finland)
Many thanks,the only Mark I can see is an impressed "S"(?),was any of it not backstamped?

Re: Arabia (Finland)
Maybe impressed words on the right hand side, next to the foot rim? Looks like molded production ware, so the S could just be a decorator's mark, and looks incised

Probably a second with a mismatched lid. looks like a coffee pot rather than
my teapot, I would put my house on it being Arabia.
I win! just search for "arabia ruska coffepot"

Re: Arabia (Finland)
Just checked it out,there are some coffee pots with odd lids and the S is for the S series,backstamp was applied over glaze so tended to disappear with washing.Many thanks all for your input.
