An icon of Scandinavian design, the “Ruska” teapot embodies Arabia Finland’s dedication to form, function, and enduring beauty. Designed in 1960 by Ulla Procopé, Ruska was the first stoneware line mass-produced with a matte, reactive glaze, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind tonal variation ranging from earthy rust to inky charcoal.

This teapot showcases Procopé’s signature balance of clean, modern lines with the organic unpredictability of hand-applied glaze. The result is both timeless and tactile — a vessel equally suited to daily ritual and display.
