A rounded GA3 teapot by Ulla Procopé, made at Arabia from hard fajans in a deep, smoky brown. The shape is soft and calm, with a warm rattan handle and a steady, easy pour. Small glaze misses from production add to the handmade feel - typical for Arabia’s mid-century pieces.
This model sits right in Procopé’s functional era: simple forms, honest materials, and a hint of Japanese tea-ceramic influence. A lovely everyday teapot with real presence. Tough enough for daily brewing, and beautiful enough to live on the counter.
