Birger Kaipiainen Decorative Ceramic Table Clock, Flower and Beeds, Arabia 1970s
-
Description
Birger Kaipiainen had a thing for clock´s. Frequently in his decorative dishes he had clock`s that were always pointing to 12:15.
Now here is the whole thing. In perfect working order and a very good condition indeed. The clock is stamped Birger Kaipiainen, Arabia Finland.
Kaipiainen started to use the decorative beads after the 1960s, and they became very popular locally and internationally.
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. -
