About:

This beautifully restrained coffee pot is part of Arabia Finland’s iconic Ruska range — one of the most enduring Scandinavian ceramic designs of the 20th century. 

Designed by Ulla Procopé, Ruska pieces are celebrated for their earthy tones, tactile matte glaze, and quiet functionality. Making them a rustic and beautiful edition to any collection and household. 

Produced in Finland from the early 1960s through the late 1970s, each piece carries subtle variations in colour and surface that make every example unique. 

This piece is therefore a timeless addition to any Nordic, mid-century, or minimalist interior, and uses a pattern which could be seated alongside any Australian natural and rustic utilitarianist style pottery.
