Product code: Vintage KAJ FRANCK ARABIA Finland Blue Cat hotsell Pottery Pitcher Artsy Blue and White

Waiting for your purchase is this wonderful pitcher from ARABIA FINLAND. It is made of a high quality porcelain material.
-----
The design is attributed to KAJ FRANCK, the famous Scandinavian designer from Finland. He was born in 1911 and died in 1989. He is one of the pioneers of the mid-century design movement, and he became Head of Design Planning at Arabia in 1946.
-----
He introduced the concept of mix and match tableware. He insisted on simple, practical, and timeless form, insisting on designer anonymity. He felt the design should speak for itself.
-----
He is famous for his Kilta service, which was made at Arabia from 1953 until 1975. He won many awards for design and there have been several museum retrospectives of his work, including the Arabia Museum in Helsinki in 2003. In 1992 Design Forum Finland established a prize in his name.
-----
The pitcher seen here is a terrific design with wide, roomy handle and generous interior.
-----
The pitcher is a creamy white on white. It features a large seated cat on each side. The cat ranges in color from dark blue to light blue to aqua in its wraparound tail.
-----
The Arabia mark is stamped on bottom in black lettering: a crown --Arabia--made in Finland---3 lines in different languages, the third is English and says" Decor Protected by Glaze". What appears to be "K-L-2" is incised on bottom also, but it is thickly covered in glaze, so it is hard to read.
-----
This pitcher is perfect for the Arabia collector or the cat lover!
-----
CONDITION: EXCELLENT---NO CHIPS OR CRACKS --design strong and bright on both sides Tiny rough spot on side of handle, but is UNDER the glaze.
-----
MEASUREMENT: Pitcher measures 6 1/4 inches tall at highest part of spout. It is approx. 4 3/8 inches across the top opening. The pitcher holds about 7 1/2 cups of liquid = 60 ounces.

All items are sold in as is/as described condition. All sales are FINAL. All hotsell items are from a non-smoking, non-pet home.

This is a vintage item so there is an expected level of wear/tear that comes with age. This piece is in overall very good condition given its age
when compared to other similar/same items found during my research. I do my best to describe the item and take appropriate pictures of any
issues found.

Thank you so much for looking and be sure to check my store often for more lovely items! I am always listing new things! :)
