Arabia Finland Keramiikkakuva ship tile

This product is a vintage decorative ceramic tile produced by the iconic Finnish brand Arabia (Arabia Finland). This specific design features a historical ship, part of a series of maritime ceramic illustrations that were popular in the mid-to-late 20th century.

Originally founded in 1873 as a subsidiary of the Swedish Rörstrand, Arabia became a symbol of Finnish design and craftsmanship. While the brand has undergone several ownership changes over the decades, it remains deeply rooted in Scandinavian aesthetic traditions. Many of these ceramic pieces were physically manufactured at the Arabia factory in Helsinki, Finland, until modern production shifts.

In the current corporate landscape, the Arabia brand is owned by Fiskars Group, a major Finnish global consumer goods company. Fiskars is known for its legendary orange-handled scissors and for consolidating several Nordic heritage brands like Iittala and Royal Copenhagen. Consequently, while the brand is Finnish, the ultimate corporate ownership lies with the Fiskars Corporation, headquartered in Espoo, Finland.
