Pentik Finland Hand Painted Stoneware Coffee & Tea Cup Set – Anu Pentik & Anja Winquist, 1970s

A rare and highly collectible piece of Finnish ceramic history — a large hand painted stoneware coffee and tea cup set from Pentik Finland, dating to the 1970s. This is early Pentik — from the era when founder Anu Pentik was still shaping the brand’s identity from her studio in Posio, Lapland, producing pieces with a raw, earthy authenticity that later mass production could never replicate.

The hand-painted decoration by Anja Winquist adds another layer of artisanal rarity — each stroke a mark of the maker’s hand, making every cup subtly unique. The generous size makes it equally suited for a long morning coffee or an afternoon tea.
