Arabia items catalogue last update September 20 2008
This website will contain (when finished) a complete catalogue of Arabia Porcelain. This means all items that carry an Iittala mark will not be described. I try to describe all the Arabia from Finland that have an Arabia mark or is made in the Arabia factories.
This website is totally from my personal archive. There is no connection to Arabia or Iittala.
This is a non commercial website, made just for information about Arabia Finland porcelain, it is not a webshop and you CANNOT buy here Arabia porcelain.
This website is entirely constructed on my own initiative and has no financial sponsoring so I can be impartial and independent.
NEW!NEW! The production by decoration type! NEW!NEW!
I try to update this website once a week(see update list)
It is written to allow you to check that what is written on the internet about Arabia is accurate
The website has 4 sections.
General information about Arabia Finland (1873 to 1999)
Arabia Finland lines and individual items of these lines
Generate your own wish list (just for your own use, not to order something from me) or generate a list of items you already have (say for insurance purposes or something like that)
Personal stories, written by users of this website. These are stories about their Arabia porcelain such as “How I collect my Arabia”, or “Memories of a good marriage”, or perhaps “ A funny story about an Arabia item” and so on.
Because the construction of this website entails a lot of personal work (Arabia made more than 190.000 (yes, one hundred and ninety thousand!) items in the period 1873 until 1999), I ask for your cooperation. If you see an error in the data, or there is a spelling mistake or perhaps there is an item in a product line I do not have listed, please mail me so that I can make the correction in the text. If the correction is for an item or a product line, please enclose if possible some pictures, so that I can understand which item or product line you mean. I ask you to enclose some measurements of that item please.
Also, true stories are welcome (see section 4 above) so I can place them on the website in your own words (English language only please). (The writer will remain anonymous but your country of origin will be mentioned)
I do not yet have all the descriptions already on my website yet but, with your help, I can begin to make it as complete as possible.
