About the Item

Toini Muona, Stoneware Large leaf relief tile, Arabia, Finland 1950's Toini Muona (1904-1987) studied sketch drawing at the Central School of Fine Arts from 1923 to 1926 and postgraduate ceramics from 1926 to 1923. In the meantime, she worked as a textile designer at Atelier Vigli from 1929 to 1931, then moved to the Arabian Art Department, where she worked until 1970. In the same year, he received the Finnish National Award for Industrial Arts. Toini Muona was a skilled wheel-thrower who, especially early in her career, created vases, jars, and objets d'art influenced by old Chinese ceramics. She is best known for her nature-inspired hay vases, a theme she extended to wall tiles in the 1950s. The relief surfaces of the tiles are printed with dried plants. This piece was made by Toini Muona, a Finnish potter who worked for the Arabian company, and features a large leaf relief pasted on a tile. The series was created by pasting actual leaves on the surface of the piece, with the motif of large leaves over 40 cm square. The leaves are painted with a bright blue glaze and the surrounding area with an almost black glaze, a rare combination of glazes. It is thought to have been influenced by the Chinese Song dynasty Tenmoku teacups with a leaf pattern, and the world of the teacups seems to have expanded into a painting on the wall. It is in good condition with no repairs, cracks or chips, but there is a large scratch mark on the reverse side that appears to be from rubbing. There is a metal hook fitted on the back of the ceramic plate, so it is heavy. The piece comes with a traditional Japanese ceramic wooden box. The vessel has been examined by an expert by UV light and visual inspection to ensure that there are no repairs and that it is not twice kiln fired.
