Sipuli (an onion) is a black ornament decoration in which the everyday onion has taken on an ornamental floral shape. Arabia Sipuli features Esteri Tomula’s signature beautifully thin pencil lines, and like all her designs is elegant and a little playful. Tomula's designs are often inspired by Finnish plants and animals, and their style is like a storybook illustration. The black screen-printed decoration is printed on top of the glaze, and is therefore delicate. We recommend hand-washing for this nordic vintage dish. A big plate or a platter for serving for example meat or fish. Guests can distribute the food from the dish and share. An oval shape is common, but there are also round-shaped serving dishes. The glazing is missing on a small area on the edges of this beautiful serving dish. These are traces from the tripod rack used in the glazing phase of production. There are also some sings of wear, small scratches and pinholes in the glazing.
