About this piece
Arabia gave its designers something most factories never would, studio space inside the works and the freedom to make art as well as tableware. That art department is a large part of why mid-century Finnish ceramics still set the standard, and Kaarina Aho was part of it.
This is her fish, a flat glazed tile shaped and textured like one, with the scales worked in relief across the face and a hole at the tail to hang it by. It is a trivet and cheese or serving board rather than a dish, the kind of quietly clever piece Arabia did so well. Made through the 1950s and out of production by 1957, it carries the Arabia crown on the base.
