Designed by Thure Oberg

Thure Öberg (b. 1872 - d. 1935) was a Swedish-born ornamental painter, who was appointed as the first artist for Helsinki's Arabia factory around 1895 and remained at the company until his death in 1935. Öberg began his career at the Rörstrand porcelain factory in Sweden, who also owned the Finnish Arabia factories established in the northern part of Helsinki in 1873. In the early years, certain Rorstrand models and decor was undertaken by Arabia. Öberg used many techniques in decorating ceramics, but his favorite was the Danish method of Arnold Krog, in creating patterns of coloured threads under the glaze. Öberg designed the well received collection on behalf of Arabia at the Paris World Expo in 1900, for which he received a gold medal.
