Arabia Finland “Pizzicato” Sugar Bowl & Creamer Set by Esteri Tomula, 1969–1973

A charming and collectible Arabia Finland “Pizzicato” sugar bowl and creamer set, designed by the beloved Finnish ceramicist Esteri Tomula and produced between 1969 and 1973. The name “Pizzicato” — a musical term for plucking strings — perfectly captures the lively, rhythmic character of Tomula’s decoration: playful, precise, and full of personality.

Picture this set on a morning breakfast table, the creamer catching the light alongside a steaming cup — a small but meaningful touch of Finnish design in everyday life. Both pieces are in excellent vintage condition, making this a ready-to-display or ready-to-use find.
