About the Item
This decorative wall or table plate was designed by Oiva Toikka and manufactured at the Nuutajärvi Glass Factory in Finland in 1983. It is a ceramic piece with a design that captures the essence of the Nordic style, known for its focus on nature and its functional and elegant aesthetic. The work is artist-signed, which adds value for authenticity and collecting, reflecting the work Toikka developed beyond his famous glass designs. The plate features a central motif of a panda bear's head, executed with fine, detailed lines resembling an etching, which subtly contrasts with the natural white ceramic background, revealing a patina that highlights the contours.
The technique used in the decoration and the hand-marking on the reverse (Oiva Toikka, Taika, Nuutajärvi, 1983) demonstrate the artisan finish and the direct connection with the factory's creative process. The panda bear design, despite its linear simplicity, projects a captivating and well-balanced expression. The plate's rim shows a slightly irregular silhouette, avoiding industrial perfection and accentuating the piece's organic character. The glaze finish is semi-gloss, with slight imperfections and flecks that are part of the original patina of the material and firing. This piece is a restrained example of Finnish decorative art from the late twentieth century, an object that communicates Toikka's sensibility towards the natural world through a medium other than glass. The plate is ideal for collectors of Scandinavian design and Oiva Toikka's work.
