Easter Approaching

.






















Since it's close to Easter, I thought of posting these images of the vintage vase 
we've got. It's from the sixties (or from the beginning of the seventies) based on 
the Arabia factory stamp on bottom (they used this marking/logo between 1964 
and 1971). Despite a thorough research I haven't been able to identify the 
maker, initialled SK (or GK, or BK - not Birger Kaipainen though, I don't think). 
The stamp says KÄSINMAALATTU (in Finnish, 'handmalad' in Swedish), which 
translates as 'hand painted'.

The vase is on an Alvar Aalto tea trolley, which he designed for Artek in 1937.
