This is a piece of Iconic Scandinavian design. It is the Arabia GA model teapot which was first designed by Ulla Procope in 1955.
The rattan handle teapot was in production until 1972. GA teapots were manufactured in two sizes. The smaller teapot (GA1) has a capacity of 0.7 L and the larger one (GA3) has a capacity of 1.6 L. The teapots were made in brown, black and white and completed with either a matte or gloss
My one is a nice larger size and will easily make about 4 nice large cups of tea. The brown colour is very similar to that used on her Ruska pieces listed on my site. It is finished in a egg shell glaze and comes with its original can wicker handle
It has a slight sheen to the glaze and is in good condition with no nasty scratches to it. There are also no chips or cracks. Nice and clean inside - the spout is whole without damages. My pot has a printed Arabia mark on the base and is dated 1963.
The original rattan / cane handle - this is in pretty good condition - with no wear to the cane section where it hooks onto the main body section at the side.
Height: just over 6 inches from base to top of lid. From spout to rear of the pot is about 8 1/2 inches.
My asking prce reflects the pot's larger size and its lovely condition. My lovely teapot will be sent to you with Royal Mail Tracked, Medium Parcel. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.

Anja Jaatinen-Winquist was born in 1934. She started working at Arabia Finland in the late 1960s while the company was going through a rapid period of change and expansion, and she continued working there in the product design department until 1974.
She designed several tableware services for Arabia including the M model “Karelia” with its iron oxide decoration, “Saara” (in production 1971-1976), and also Kalevala, and Paju (which came in both blue and yellow variations). I have a few pieces of Paju listed on Iconic.
