Snow White and the Seven Dwarf. Dishes from the late 30's

"Snow White" is a German fairy tale known across much of Europe, and is today one of the most famous fairy tales worldwide. The Brothers Grimm published it in 1812 in the first edition of their collection Grimms' Fairy Tales. It was titled in German: Sneewittchen (in modern orthography Schneewittchen), and numbered as Tale 53. The Grimms completed their final revision of the story in 1854. (Source Wikipedia)

 

 

It's Not Christmas Yet

Just so you know, it is not currently Christmas. I just found some nice decorations for my jars.

Adventure in Moominvalley

All sorts of exciting things happen around Moominvalley. In addition to the Moomins, the valley is inhabited by mymbles, hemulens, fillyjonks and all kinds of small toffles and whompers.

I show you my very own miniature Moomin pots and serving tray. I also made a cakestand for myself. I just love Moomin <3

Retro Trays

This time I made some retro trays. Original design is made by Arabia and these trays are been used as cheese trays.

Pheasant

Pheasant is one of the longest-running Arabia ornamentation. It was used for sets of tableware.  
As Willow, some details óf Pheasanthas changed over the years. In the oldest products of Pheasant  have a stamp text "Asiatic Pheasants" which tells ornament background: blue and white Chinese porcelain imported inspired decoration was put into production in England in the 1700s. Rörstrands Fasan was in production only until 1925. 12 place settings could include more than one hundred parts!

Plum series from 1932-1939.

One of my dollhouse friends asked me to do a series of Swedish plum kitchen jars. This model was in production 1932-1939. I got excited about the project, so that I did the same series, including plates, tarjoiluvateja and two different sizes of jars.

Grey & White pottery

I got a special request about grey and white Bruka-pots. I took the challenge and made those ready a couple of days ago. I find the pots very lovely for a modern dollshouse. Have a nice weekend!

Aurinko-design

Aurinko series serving plates and cups. This decoration is originally designed by Esteri Tomula. It was only in the production of Arabia 1973-74.

More Jugs

Oksa-jug was manufactured between 1953-1971. There are 3 different sizes available in real size. This miniature jug probably corresponds to a 1,5- or 2-liter jugs.

Parrot-pitcher

The parrot-pitcher is popular among Finnish collectors. The pitcher was produced in 1940's for a short period.  This model comes in two sizes: 1 and 2-liter models. Ornament designer is unknown.

Jugs

I like a lot of the old jugs made by Arabia-factory. I made them the size of the dollhouse. Animal motifs decorated jugs are popular collectors' items.
