About the Item
Product Description:
The Birger Kaipianen wall plate on offer is a unique and rare piece made in his early period. Birger Kaipiainen was designer who worked on the design "Palatissi", a very famous series produced by Arabia. He was active in the art department of Arabia between 1937 and 1988 and worked on many works in his atelier, many of which were not mass-produced. His unique pieces are exhibited in various countries. Works of Arabia by the hand of Briger Kaipiainen have always been so popular that the atelier was always empty with not many products staying on the shelves. The designs of Birger Kaipianen went through different stages. His early works in the 1940s were portraits and landscapes. In the 1950s, many works were made with ceramic beads. In the 1970s, many fruits and plants such as Palatissi were seen. In the late 1980s, many flowers and insects were drawn.
Product Condition:
There are two small chips on the edge of the plate, there are also some pinhole-shaped dents visible on the plate. In addition, there is a dent made at the time of manufacturing in one place. Although the plate is aged and there is some natural deterioration present the work is of good quality.

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.
