{"product_id":"taika-panda-ceramic-plate-by-oiva-toikka-for-nuutajarvi-finland-1983","title":"Taika Panda Ceramic Plate by Oiva Toikka for Nuutajärvi, Finland, 1983","description":"A distinctive Taika ceramic decorative plate designed by Oiva Toikka and produced at the Nuutajärvi factory in Finland in 1983. Best known internationally for his imaginative glass designs, Toikka also explored ceramics, bringing the same sensitivity to nature, character and playful imagery to this expressive piece. The plate centres on a finely rendered panda bear portrait, drawn with delicate linear detailing reminiscent of an etching and contrasted against the natural white ceramic ground. A subtly irregular edge reinforces the organic, handcrafted quality of the composition, while the semi-gloss glaze retains slight variations and speckling associated with the ceramic material and firing process. The reverse is hand-signed “Oiva Toikka, Taika, Nuutajärvi, 1983,” confirming the designer, series, manufacturer and date. A collectible example of 1980s Finnish decorative art and an unusual representation of Oiva Toikka’s work beyond his celebrated art glass.","brand":"Elefanta de Colores","offers":[{"title":"Product","offer_id":54027070210364,"sku":"ES_6428","price":682.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/9390\/5980\/files\/taika_panda_ceramic_plate_by_oiva_toikka_for_nuutajarvi_finland_1983_first.png?v=1787837975","url":"https:\/\/curiouz.com\/products\/taika-panda-ceramic-plate-by-oiva-toikka-for-nuutajarvi-finland-1983","provider":"Curiouz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
