A rare and exquisite rice grain porcelain vase designed by Friedl Holzer-Kjellberg for Arabia Finland.
This delicate, light-translucent vessel exemplifies the artistry of Scandinavian porcelain production between 1945–1975.
Each vase is created using an ancient Chinese technique: the walls are carefully pierced with a sharp tool before firing, and the resulting openings are filled with glaze during the final kiln stage.
When light shines through, the glaze windows glow with a soft translucence — a hallmark of Holzer-Kjellberg’s celebrated design.
