Vintage Modernist Ceramic Bowl with Rattan Handle - Kupittaan savi, Finland - Mid-Century

A sunny yellow ceramic bowl paired with a bentwood rattan handle – a classic Kupittaan Savi combination that combines natural materials with modern design. The shallow, rounded form and detachable handle make it a versatile piece: equal parts tableware and decorative object.

This bowl comes from Kupittaan Savi’s mid-century production, when the Finnish factory introduced bold colour glazes and simple, functional shapes that still feel fresh today. The addition of a rattan handle is very much of its time, echoing Nordic design’s love for natural detail and everyday usability.

Like many Kupittaan Savi pieces, this bowl carries the marks of studio production – a certain ruggedness to the base, tiny glaze skips, and that handmade feel that makes each object unique. These aren’t flaws, just part of the charm of mid-century ceramics.

With its warm yellow tone and tactile handle, it’s a cheerful accent for serving, storing, or simply enjoying as it is.
