Black Vintage Side Plates by Kupittaan Savi - Finland, Mid-Century – Set of 5

A set of five handmade side plates by Kupittaan Savi, glazed in a soft satin black with a velvety surface. The glaze has subtle tonal shifts and small irregularities typical of Kupittaan Savi’s mid-century production.

Kupittaan Savi was one of Finland’s most beloved ceramics manufacturers during the postwar decades, known for expressive glazes and human-scale design. This satin finish comes from magnesium- and iron-based glaze mixes, developed to create depth and warmth without shine - a subtle mastery that gives these plates their modern yet organic feel.

Perfect for everyday use or as understated display pieces. They bring quiet Finnish mid-century character to any setting, whether paired with contemporary ceramics or vintage stoneware.
