Inspired by pastoral poetry, the composition brings together human figures, birds, flowers, foliage and other elements of nature in a richly detailed, almost storybook-like world. Fine black linework and rich cobalt blue give the decoration its distinctive character. On the AJ61 serving tray, the generous surface allows Tomula's intricate illustration to unfold as one continuous composition rather than a repeating pattern. The restrained form gives the artwork space to take centre stage, making the tray as much a display of Tomula's artistry as a functional object. Produced from 1965 to 1969, the AJ61 is considerably less commonly found than the smaller Pastoraali tableware pieces. Its distinctive format and celebrated decoration make it highly sought after by collectors worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arabia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55039589646665,"sku":"848594","price":230.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1803\/8601\/files\/848594TGEV1.jpg?v=1786453218","url":"https:\/\/www.royalsio2.com\/products\/serving-tray-pastoraali-esteri-tomula-arabia","provider":"Royal SiO2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
