Rare Arabia Finland Children's Mug – Laila Hakala, 1971

A charming and collectible children's mug from Arabia Finland, designed by Laila Hakala in 1971 and produced only between 1970 and 1973. With such a brief production window, intact examples in good condition are genuinely hard to come by — a true find for collectors of Finnish ceramics and Scandinavian children's design.

Small enough to fit perfectly in a child's hands, yet full of the warmth and craftsmanship that defined Arabia's golden era. Today it makes a wonderful display piece — imagine it on a shelf alongside other Nordic ceramic treasures, quietly telling the story of Finnish design at its most playful and considered.
