Along with the 30 dinnerware pieces are 2 serving platters - 1 oval and 1 round - as well as the matching coffee pot, milk jug or pitcher, creamer, and a sugar bowl with its lid.

Each of the stoneware ceramic pieces were hand painted by artisans, and the wet glaze was burnished, which is why no wares are exactly alike.

Ulla Procopé (1921 - 1968) was one of Finland's leading ceramic designers of the 20th century who left an indelible impact on Scandinavian design. She joined Arabia, the Finnish producer of fine ceramic tableware in 1948 and designed several innovative and popular lines of ceramic products.
