Arabia Ruska Finnish Pottery
Arabia Ruska (autumn colours in Finnish) was designed in the 1960's, it was the first of the S-model series made in glazed stoneware. It was also the longest in production, and was made until the year 2000. Because of the long production period the stamps on the bottom of Ruska products vary a lot.
In the 1950s, oven and flameproof materials were developed by the Arabia laboratory. They were used by Ulla Procopé (1921-1988) in her rustic Ruska series, which became almost synonymous with Finnish pottery. The series was made of heavy stone mass that was so popular in the sixties.
Ruska was in many ways a groundbreaking design from Ulla Procopé in the 1960’s. It’s oven-to-table capability, durability in daily use, and it’s rustic and earthy look define this extremely popular series.
Ruska’s rugged surface, similar to Japanese Raku pottery, was created with an unusual decorating method: powdered iron was applied to a matte glazing, giving each piece a slightly unique artisanal and smoky look.
