About the Item

Friedl Holzer-Kjellberg for Arabia Set of three small bowls, mid-20th century. Set comprising three small bowls in white porcelain with pierced and embossed decoration in the classic “rice porcelain” style. The fine perforations and transparent glaze areas create a light and almost translucent appearance, while the simple conical forms reflect Friedl Holzer-Kjellberg’s refined modernist design language. Origin: Finland. Designer: Friedl Holzer-Kjellberg. Material: Porcelain. Dimensions: H. approx. 5–7 cm, D. approx. 10–12 cm. Period: Mid-20th century. Condition: Excellent condition with minor signs of wear. Friedl Holzer-Kjellberg (1905–1993) was an Austrian-born ceramic artist who worked at Arabia in Finland from 1936. She gained international recognition for developing “rice porcelain”, a technique in which small perforations are filled with transparent glaze, giving the porcelain a delicate, almost textile-like quality. Her work represents a refined synthesis of technical innovation and Nordic modernism and is highly sought after by collectors today.
