Tableware: Arabia Finland Mahonki Mahogany Brown Teapot by Göran Bäck & Ulla Procopé

Vintage Arabia Finland 'Mahonki' Mahogany Brown Stoneware Teapot, 1961–1972.

A large and striking stoneware teapot from Arabia Finland's 'Mahonki' (Mahogany) line — the pot shape designed by Göran Bäck and the signature deep brown ribbed glaze designed by Ulla Procopé, with the line in production from 1961 to 1972. The Finnish word "Mahonki" means "mahogany," perfectly describing the rich warm brown colour of this beautifully tactile piece.

A substantial 1.3-litre capacity makes this ideal for entertaining, while the ribbed stoneware body and deep glaze give it an unmistakable Scandinavian modernist presence on any table or shelf.

Did you Know?

Ulla Procopé (1921–1968) was one of Arabia Finland's most celebrated designers, responsible for iconic lines including Ruska, Liekki, and Mahonki. She was known for her mastery of earthy, tactile glazes that brought warmth and texture to functional stoneware. Göran Bäck joined Arabia in the 1950s and contributed elegant, functional forms that complemented Procopé's glaze work. Together their Mahonki collaboration produced one of the most distinctive and collectible stoneware lines of the Scandinavian mid-century era.
