Is It Vintage - Emilia


photo by Kreetta Järvenpää

I'm telling you again about Raija Uosikkinen and Arabia. You know me. I love vintage and good design in old tableware. Design is Emilia. It is made in 1950's and it's decoration was inspired by Raija Uosikkinen's aunt's life in America. 

My cup is missing the plate and it's also a little bit broken. I got it with very cheap price at one flea market. I think this cup is sweet with delicate charm. 

Usually I like to photograph in daylight - aren't we all - but this time I decided to photograph late in the evening. Or actually it was almost twelve o'clock at night. I wanted to use light what we have here in Finland this time of the year. Amazing light.

I was making also ice cream but it's not in the cup, as you see...I ate it already. Have to do a new one and photograph it!

  5. Such beautiful photography (as always), Kreetta. Love the cup!
    Can't exactly see how big it is but you know what I am doing with mine? Serving olives and almonds. It's so much nicer than on regular bowls and plates.
