Provenance

Kurt Ekholm (1907-1975). Ekholm was the artistic director at Arabia from 1932 to 1948. After moving to Sweden he became a teacher and later the principal at Slöjdföreningens skola (the School of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg) from 1948 to 1966.

Designer

Michael Schilkin (1900-1962) was a Finnish sculptor and ceramicist born in Trubino, Russia. He moved to Finland in 1921 and studied at the Central School of Art. Eventually he was hired at the Arabia porcelain factory. He is mainly known for his stoneware and clay figurines depicting wild animals, but also created human figures and wall reliefs in public places with musty glazes in earth tones. The sculptures are powerful with a humorous tone.
