Kalevala series collectible annual wall plates were produced by Arabia Finland once a year in the years 1976-1999. Plates from the late nineties are more valuable because not as many were produced compared to earlier years.
Designed by Raija Uosikkinen, patterns are base on the stories of Kalevala, the Finnish Epic containing very old stories as a special form of poems or songs. On the back of each plate appears a specific poem in Finnish, Swedish and English.
Kalevala collectible wall plates were made of heavy and durable stoneware. This is the larger 20cm plate still with original wall hook. In excellent condition with no chips, cracks, scratches, fading, crazing or repair.
