A beautiful vintage lidded and handled larger jam pot by Arabia, Finland (or honey pot, sugar bowl, condiments pot, or small serving pot... anything you wish!) The decor is Plum and the range was called Pomona. The shape of the pots was designed by Ulla Procopé and from 1965 Arabia started using the Pomona patterns by Raija Uosikkinen. The Pomona line consisted of simple drawn images of various fruits in a repetitive pattern. In total 10 different patterns were used, inclusive of honey bees. Pomona was in production for nearly a decade from 1965 to about 1973. It has never been re-issued so all Pomona items you find these days are from this period. The decoration was applied through a silkscreen transfer process - so are usually still very bright. The Plums are a deep purple and the foliage mid and lime green, on bright white. Good condition. The pot itself is great with no chips, clean inside, no crazing, just a little crizzle to the glaze on the base. A tiny loss to the print at the edge of one plum. The pot is stamped to the base with 'Arabia Made in Finland 1-66'. I was lead to believe that the latter number was the year of manufacture, so from 1966. The original lid is crazed front and back, see all pics, but has no chips or discolouration. An alternative rounded shape larger jam pot with side handles or ears. 15cm widest x 8cm tall pot (10.5cm wide rim). With lid the lidded pot is 8.5cm tall (hard to find with lid). Free P&P to the UK.
