A Green & Black Ceramic Art Basket, The Forest Series 2, Kati Tuominen-Niittylä

A beautiful unique ceramic art piece by Kati Tuominen-Niittylä, one of the most prominent modern Finnish ceramic artists and a member of the iconic Arabia Art Department Society.

This beautiful black green floor vase is hand made and hand painted and is quite large with a wonderful earthly vibe; one that we can often see in KTN's ceramic works. With a diameter of about 50cm and a height of 37cm, this piece can be the only statement needed in a modern ceramic lover's interior. This piece is from the artists own collection and is stamped with her initials.
