ARABIA Arabia Vintage Teema Cup & Saucer Yellow This item was purchased directly from the Arabia design center in Finland. It is a very valuable item, so I have kept it with care, but I have too many cups, so I have decided to sell it to someone who is looking for one. This color, called "chick yellow," which was difficult to produce consistently and has been discontinued, has little color unevenness, and the stamp is clear. The back print is the old crown (chimney) logo. It is a very beautiful item with no noticeable scratches, and there are only minor scratches on the saucer that are barely noticeable unless you hold it up to the light. It is rare to find two items in this condition, and I have kept them unused after purchase. Compared to vintage items purchased at local flea markets and circulated in Japan, vintage items stored at Arabia are in better condition. The saucer has no indentation, so it can also be used as a plate. The Teema series, a standard of Nordic tableware, has been in production since 1981 to the present day, with the same form as the successor to Kaj Franck's masterpiece Kilta (1952-1975), a master designer from Finland. Although the size, items, and colors have been discontinued, the series continues. Yellow was discontinued in 2005 when ARABIA changed to the iittala brand. The mellow and gentle color, compared to the yellow made in later years, is easy to blend into the Japanese dining table. TEEMA from the Arabia era has a deeper color than the current products, and it has a different charm. Also, Arabia products are now mainly made in Thailand, but this one is made in Finland. It is a very cute mug, so I hope to deliver it to someone who is looking for a good condition item and will cherish it. Thank you very much. No individual sales, no price reduction. You can purchase it immediately without comment.
