Product description
This decorative plate was designed by Oiva Toikka in 1983 and manufactured at the Nuutajärvi Factory in Finland. It is a ceramic piece that reflects the Nordic aesthetic, centered on nature and functionality. The work is hand signed on the reverse: "Oiva Toikka, Taika, Nuutajärvi, 1983," confirming its authenticity. This signature is relevant as it showcases Toikka's work beyond his well known glass designs. The plate features a central motif of a panda bear's head, executed with fine, detailed lines reminiscent of an etching technique. This line drawing contrasts with the natural white ceramic background. The panda's design, despite its simplicity, projects a balanced expression. The edge of the plate has a slightly irregular silhouette, which emphasizes the organic and artisanal character of the piece, moving away from industrial perfection. The glaze finish is semi gloss and features an original patina, with the slight imperfections and specks characteristic of the material and firing process. This piece is a sober example of late 20th century Finnish decorative art, communicating Toikka's sensitivity to the natural world.
