Ara department was founded by Kurt Ekholm in 1938.
ARA products were made from domestic red faience, ara-massasta, which was coated with a light tin glaze and the decorations were painted freehand.
Ara products were stamped with an oval ARA stamp.
In addition to Ekholm, Ara products were designed by the artists Michael Schilkin, Toini Muona and Kaj Franck.
The department was in operation until 1950.
