Pentik 'Inari' Bowls – Finland, 1970s – Set of 2

Early Pentik with a subtle Nordic groove. These chunky little bowls are from the rare Inari series — an early studio line made in small numbers. Pale glaze, dark blue stripe, heavy in the hand. Almost never seen these days.

Perfect sizes for snacks and sides. Heavy enough to feel solid, rare enough to feel special. If you're into early Pentik, you already know how hard these are to come by — and if you’re not yet, this is a good place to start.

They look unused, but the bottoms have tiny chips. Nothing you’ll notice once they’re on the table - just a bit of honest history.

ABOUT PENTIK – Founded in 1971 in Posio, Lapland, Pentik is still the northernmost ceramics studio in the world. The early years were defined by chunky forms, organic textures, and natural glazes inspired by the northern landscape. We love original Pentik for its subtle Nordic groove — raw, functional, and surprisingly modern. Most of our favorite pieces were handcrafted in the 1970s, when production was small-scale and hands-on. These early works are now sought after by collectors and fans of mid-century Finnish ceramics, and many are getting hard to find. What’s best about them? They were made to last — and after all this time, they still hold up in everyday use.
