Wonderful with pieces ranging from minor wear to near mint. Friedl Holzer-Kjellberg who originally came to Finland from Austria was employed by the Arabia factory in 1924.

She became interested in the Chinese "rice porcelain" dating from the 18th century Chien Lung period while visiting the museums of her native country. As a result of her ten years of experimentation she managed to solve the secret of the "rice porcelain" technique. Rice porcelain was made of extremely thin porcelain by cutting out the rice shaped pattern and then glaze entire object so the cutout areas remain transparent.

Friedl Kjellberg worked for Arabia a total of 46 years. The item "24 Pce ARABIA Finland RICE Dinnerware Set SVC For 6 incl RARE Dinner Plates EXC" is in sale since Monday, December 9, 2019.
