Birger Kaipiainen "Duetto" Decorative Dish in Black & Gold Beads, Arabia 1980s

This is a beautiful ceramic plate decorated with multiple black and gold beadings and it is a good example of the artists skill to use colours and fine iridescent glaze dots and details on the surface of the plate. Kaipiainen introduced ceramic beads to his art in the 60s' and the surface of the object became more important for his art. The design features two large flowers surrounded by clocks and bees. The plate is in good condition with the wall mounting wire attached.
