Iittala Provincial Plate 150 mm

During the period of autonomy within the Russian Empire, the nationwide unification policies that curtailed Finland’s broad self-government provoked increasingly strong national demonstrations during the 1890s.

The Finnish glass industry took part in the demonstrations by adding pressed glass products decorated with the Finnish lion coat of arms, provincial coats of arms and images of prominent figures to its glass range.

The provincial plate for sale is intact but has scratches from use.
