Arabia Emilia plate, 10,5 cm

Arabia’s Emilia mini plate is adorned with a delightful decoration designed by Raija Uosikkinen. The tiny plate can be used as a saucer underneath a coffee cup or for serving snacks, appetizers or desserts.

Raija Uosikkinen originally created the enchanting Emilia decoration in 1957, and the series was in Arabia’s production until the year 1966. Emilia brought a fascinating contrast to the sleek and simple designs of the 1950s, as it was decorated with vines and beautiful details, yet tamed by its black-and-white coloring. Arabia re-launched the enchanting Emilia decoration in 2023.

The story goes that the Emilia motifs were inspired by the designer’s own Aunt Selma, who lived a relaxed life in America. Elegantly dressed characters spend sunny days in the garden, on a picnic and lying in a hammock. Each part of the Emilia tableware conveys a fabulous breeze of holiday spirit and the leisurely feel of days off.
