★★Beware of Scams‼️★★ There are scam sites that use photos and descriptions from other sites. We only sell on Mercari. Please be careful. This is a family collection being cleared out. Shipping included. Antique Finland Arabia Arabia Paratiisi Soup tureen with lid "paratiisi (Paratiisi)" series "Precautions for Use" ※OK for use in microwave, oven, and dishwasher. (Cannot be used directly on a flame.) Long-term storage item, this item only. Scratches, slight damage to the handle. As is. This is an early Arabia Paratiisi from 1970. There are some imperfections from the firing process, but it has no signs of use and no chips. The pansy pattern on the back is the early backstamp from 1969 to 1971, and the production number is small, making it rare. It is in excellent condition for an antique item. Purchased at a high price from an antique shop in France. I purchased it as an antique from the beginning and have kept it stored away. See photos for size. Regarding Nordic vintage ceramic products, due to the production method (characteristics of the clay and glaze) and the quality standards of the Nordic countries at the time, there may be slight differences in shape and texture, and small air bubbles, black spots, pinholes, and glaze imperfections on the surface, but these are considered to be acceptable and do not affect the quality. This is a personal collection being cleared out. Please purchase if you understand antique, vintage, and used items made overseas. We will pack it carefully when shipping. We plan to use recycled packing materials. We have cats and dogs, and there may be some hair attached. Please do not purchase if you are concerned. Thank you.
