Ruusu (rose) is a decoration with a handsome dark red rose and leaves. This bold rose was designed by artist Anneli Qveflander for Arabia in 1958. Qveflander is known as a set and costume designer for Finnish opera and theatre. At the time, Kaj Franck was head of model design at the Arabia art department. He preferred minimal designs, but many customers still desired flower decorations on their coffee cups. So Franck came up with the idea of a large and handsome contemporary design to counterbalance the pretty little flower decorations. 60 years later, Arabia Ruusu still stands out from other decorations. It is a favourite of many Finnish mothers. We recommend hand washing for this delicate porcelain coffee set. A delightful gift or wedding present. A superb choice for any special occasion. A creamer is a container for milk or cream, used when serving tea or coffee. You can also use it for serving dressing or as a vase for small flowers. A sugar bowl is a container or a jar, usually used for serving sugar with coffee or tea. It can be used for interior decoration as well. This beautiful set is in excellent condition. There are some minor imperfections on the sugar bowl, such as a few dark dots and pinholes on the glazing.
