The Story
This large-scale "Viola" wall plate, created in 1967, is a masterpiece of Arabia ceramics that reflects the artist’s peak creativity and connection to his iconic installation at the Montreal World’s Fair. This representative and space-dominating object is a valuable investment, carrying a timeless aesthetic that extends far beyond conventional applied art. "Viola" is a true manifesto of decorative abundance, where Kaipiainen combines bold sculptural form and intense depth of color: it is a rare ceramic floral fragment in which the artist masterfully weaves together poetic melancholy and technical perfectionism, making this object a true gem for collectors both visually and art-historically.

Designer Birger Kaipiainen - Royal SiO2

Birger Kaipiainen


Birger Johannes Kaipiainen (1915 – 1988). Often called the "Prince of Ceramics," Birger Kaipiainen was a romantic visionary who rejected minimalism in favor of lush, dreamlike maximalism. His work is instantly recognizable by its rich textures, three-dimensional beads, and recurring motifs of violets, curlews, and clocks. While he designed the beloved Paratiisi tableware, his artistic soul truly shines in his monumental wall reliefs like Aurinko nousee (The Sun Rises). His creations are not just objects, but windows into a surreal, sophisticated world of eternal spring.
