Designed by Kaj Franck in 1952 for Arabia Finland's iconic 'Kilta' series, this is an original early production piece. The unglazed white base ring and absence of a permanent stamp are characteristic of the 1950s–1970s era when cold-stamps were used — a known authentication marker for early Kilta production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKilta was the first tableware line ever sold by the individual piece rather than in fixed sets, allowing people to buy only what they needed. It was later updated and renamed Teema in 1981 and remains a global bestseller today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Intended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milk or cream jug for the Kilta\/Teema table service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate Suggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Statement shelf piece in a Scandinavian design or mid-century modern collection, or a functional accent in a Japandi-inspired kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shift2ThriftVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46669989806278,"sku":"Listing 082-March-2026","price":650.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/2163\/2198\/files\/KiltaJug-KajFranckforArabiaFinland01.jpg?v=1785738061","url":"https:\/\/shift2thriftvintage.co.za\/products\/serveware-arabia-finland-kilta-cobalt-blue-creamer-kaj-franck","provider":"Shift2ThriftVintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
