Thanks, like an hour or a bit more :D was a lot of fun though, learned a lot on a topic I have no reason to research. Unfortunately I saw your post while already laying on bed and ADHD kicked in with a promise of dopamine if I sacrificed some sleep
Embarrassingly the silver bullet was to cave in and do a Google reverse image search, found the 2 listings in like 5min lmao
Scrolled through this online museum for arabia stuff but didn’t find that design. They don’t claim to have everything though, just some 2000+ designs…

But there should be more info on the bottom to help identify it! Something like this, that would hopefully have name of the series
Edit: found this posting on a Finnish site:

Still no idea what it’s for but it’s listed as a bowl. Probably just an art piece of a bowl without a specific purpose. Designer’s name is Gunnel Sallmen
Edit2: More info on some Japanese website, no idea how credible. http://www.hamon-okayama.jp/item/583/?mode=pc
Machine translation below:
Manufacturer: ARABIA.
■Series: Art Department Vase.
■Size (cm): φ13, height 3.5.
■Era: 60S.
■Design: Gunnel Salmen.
This is a flat vase made by Arabia’s art department, the Art Department. It was designed by Gunnel Salmen.
The Arabia Art Department was an art department that did not aim for mass production, but allowed creators to create freely.
Finland’s most famous designers, such as Kaj Franck and Kaipianen, were on staff.
The number of pieces produced was very small, making it very rare even in Finland.
Non-carbonated tapwater for the win
I get your point but I hate the fact that my legs hurt so bad today. thinking of taking car today instead of a bike commute :D
I’m not endurance sportsman but I kind of feel like when I push myself beyond the comfort zone and it gets really hard, is when the activity gets the best. It stops being just a boring hike or whatever, and becomes more interesting and involved.
But it’s not the pain I’m enjoying, but overcoming it, enduring through it. I’d think masochist would enjoy the pain itself?
