Description
This Finel Primavera enamel kettle is a quietly assured piece of 1960s Finnish design — small in scale but rich in character. Produced by Finel for Arabia Finland, the form was designed by Kaj Franck and the distinctive floral decoration added by Raija Uosikkinen. The result is a kettle that balances everyday practicality with genuine visual warmth, exactly the kind of object that defined mid-century Nordic enamelware at its best.
The Primavera pattern — a multicolour floral motif on a white ground — brings a gentle, optimistic energy to the clean, functional silhouette. The black metal handle and lid knob anchor the design with a confident contrast. It is a piece that feels at home whether it sits on a kitchen shelf or takes its place in a considered vintage collection.
