Vintage Modernist Ceramic Jug by Kupittaan savi - Finland, Mid-Century

A generous, round-shouldered jug in a vibrant yellow glaze. The pulled handle and softly flared spout give it an elegant yet practical shape, balancing modernist form with everyday function. At 20 cm tall, it’s substantial enough for serving water, juice, or simply holding flowers.

Produced during Kupittaan Savi’s mid-century years, when the factory shifted towards bold glazes and streamlined shapes, this piece reflects the studio’s move away from earlier folk-inspired production into modern Finnish design.

Like many Kupittaan Savi pieces, this jug 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.

A timeless Finnish original with a fresh burst of colour, perfect for the table or as a standalone accent.
