Ceramic Plate By Oiva Toikka For Nuutajärvi, 1983

Chairish

$899

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 piece is hand-signed on the reverse: "Oiva Toikka, Taika, Nuutajärvi, 1983," confirming its authenticity. This signature is significant as it showcases Toikka's work beyond his well-known glass designs. The plate features a central motif of a panda's head, executed with fine, detailed lines reminiscent of etching. This linear drawing contrasts with the natural white ceramic background. Despite its simplicity, the panda design projects a balanced expression. The plate's rim has a slightly irregular shape, which accentuates the organic and handcrafted character of the piece, moving away from industrial perfection. The glaze has a semi-gloss finish and an original patina, with the slight imperfections and flecks characteristic of the material and the firing process. This piece is a restrained example of late 20th-century Finnish decorative art, conveying Toikka's sensitivity to the natural world. This piece has an attribution mark, I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
