The Story
Raija Uosikkinen’s 1964 "Kissa" (model KL 3) for the Arabia factory is a playful icon of Finnish ceramic art. Designed on a form by Kaarina Aho, the KL 3 is the series' largest 2-liter pitcher, distinguished by its vibrant orange cat illustration. True to Uosikkinen’s style, the decoration is stylized, transforming an everyday object into a whimsical piece of art. As the KL 3 was produced in smaller quantities, it is the most sought-after and highly valued piece for collectors. Due to its rarity and historical significance, this piece offers collectors long-term investment value. It is a masterpiece of Scandinavian ceramics, uniting technical quality with Uosikkinen’s signature narrative style. Flawless examples with the original Arabia stamp are highly sought after on the design market, offering valuable historical heritage.

Designer Raija Uosikkinen - Royal SiO2

Raija Uosikkinen


Raija Liisa Uosikkinen (1923 – 2004). If Arabia’s mid-century ceramics had a soul of joy, it was shaped by Raija Uosikkinen. For nearly forty years, she was the factory’s master of pattern, known for her ability to wrap functional objects in whimsy and storytelling. While she famously collaborated with Kaj Franck to decorate his minimalist forms, she is perhaps best loved for her Emilia and Kalevala series. Her intricate, fine-lined illustrations turned everyday plates and cups into miniature canvases, capturing the essence of Finnish folklore and the charm of daily life.
