About the Item

A fantastic vintage hand-blown ice-bucket known as "Sargasso" made and signed by the talented and award-winning designer Kaj Franck. This is a result of a cooperation between Arabia and Nuutajärvi, both prestigious and well-known companies famed for their mid-century modern art and design. Kaj Franck is one of Finland's or even Scandinavia's most artistic designer, who has produced a simple but equally sophisticated ice-bucket, in a fantastic warm amber color full of small air bubbles. The design is very much of its time, but still has a sophisticated and contemporary feeling to it. -It is 17cm (6.69") high and around 12cm (4.72") in diameter and in a very good condition, one of the handles has a rough edge from production, yet there are no chips or other damages, and the price includes free shipping. Arabia Arabia is a Finnish brand for porcelain and glassware. The company was founded in 1873 as a branch of Swedish Rörstrand for the export of porcelain to Russia and in 1874 production began. The first manager was the foreman J. H. Herlenius, transferred from Rörstrand. From Rörstand also came Arabia's first technical director, Gustaf Herlitz, who in 1892 became manager and in 1916 was succeeded by his son Carl-Gustaf Herlitz (1882–1961). The products were models taken from Rörstrand's standard range. Several of the vase models had been designed by Alf Wallander and Hugo Hörlin. The first artistic employee was Thure Öberg in 1896. He was responsible for Arabia's success at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 and later took over the management of objets d'art production, a position he held until 1932. At the beginning of the 20th century, Öberg created in collaboration with the Finnish architect Jacob Ahrenberg, the Fennia series, which became very famous. During this time, Finnish designers such as Helena Wilenius and Usko and Hjalmar Nyström were also temporary employees at Arabia. The company passed into Finnish ownership in 1916. In the 1930s, Arabia was Europe's largest porcelain factory with over 1,500 employees. Production was carried out in Arabiastranda in Helsinki. They employed some of Scandinavia’s most talented and prominent artists and designers such as Annikki Hovisaari, Gunvor Olin, Kaj Franck, Ulla Procope, Alvar Aalto and Oiva Toikka, they have all contributed to the success of Arabia and made it into one of the worlds leading company when it comes to ceramics, thus very sought after by vintage and retro lovers all over the world.
