A beautiful hand-painted ground vase by one of Finland’s leading decorative ceramic artists, Laila Zink.

Highly sought after by collectors, Zink’s objects combine charm, intuition and artistic expression in a way that remains uniquely Finnish and deeply personal. The vase is in good condition with no cracks or other issues. Signed to the bottom.

Over the years, Kupittaan Savi gained a strong following both within Finland and internationally, and artists like Laila Zink played a significant role in shaping the company’s artistic identity and success.
