DescriptionDescription: The rustic Ruska service is one of Arabia’s biggest sellers ever – the coffee cup was particularly popular. The glaze has shifting shades of brown with flecks of black, which gives a craftsmanlike look as no cup is exactly like another. Ruska was produced from 1961 to 1999. Ulla Procopé graduated at the Central School of Applied Arts in Helsinki in 1948 and designed utility ceramics for Arabia until her death in 1968.
