About the Item
This is a beautiful ceramic plate decorated with multiple black and gold beadings and it is a good example of the artists skill to use colours and fine iridescent glaze dots and details on the surface of the plate. Kaipiainen introduced ceramic beads to his art in the 60s' and the surface of the object became more important for his art. The design features two large flowers surrounded by clocks and bees. The plate is in good condition with the wall mounting wire attached.
This "Duetto" design was introduced as a limited series of only 300 pieces, and this one is number 64/300. The item is marked and signed "Arabia Art Made In Finland" & Birger Kaipiainen.
Birger Kaipiainen (1915-1988) was a master of decorative ceramics. He was especially known for his rich and colorful ornamental dishes, featuring fruits, women, butterflies, flowers, birds etc. usually decorated with beads. Kaipiainen was the leading man in ceramics in mid century Finland. He had a long career as a designer for Arabia Oy, where his artistic ability flourished, as he was given more and more freedoms. As his career went on and he was able to freely express his art, his style became more surreal compared to his early work. Today Kaipiainen is still one of the most celebrated Finnish designers. His recognitions include the Grand Prix award at Milano Di Triennale 1951.

Birger Kaipiainen
Birger Kaipiainen was a Finnish ceramist and designer. He is one of the most successful and well-known ceramic artists in Finland.
Kaipiainen graduated from the School of Arts & Crafts (later known as the Aalto School of Arts of Helsinki). After graduation he went to work for Finnish ceramics company Arabia in 1937, and later in 1954 for their Swedish sister company Rörstrand.
Kaipiainen worked as a designer for Arabia for over fifty years. As a child he suffered from polio and was consequently unable to use a pottery wheel. It was said that his illness heightened his artistic sensitivity.
Kaipiainen was nicknamed “the king of decorators” for his nostalgic, romantic and highly decorative ceramic designs at a time when minimalism was the prevailing trend in Finnish ceramics. He is known for repeatedly using the same signature nature-inspired motifs, such as violets and curlews.
The recipient of many awards, honorary titles, and a doctorate, Kaipiainen won a Grand Prix at the Triennale di Milano in 1951 and was awarded the prestigious Pro Finlandia medal in 1963.
