The Marimekko Oiva / Unikko Teacup is a white stoneware cup from the Oiva series. Oiva is the tableware series designed by Sami Ruotsalainen. Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has become an international icon of print design. Armi Ratia, who founded Marimekko, believed a real flower could not be captured faithfully in print, so Maija Isola drew Unikko as an abstraction instead.
Made of 100% whiteware in Thailand, the cup holds 2.5 dl and comes in White. It is food safe and suits the dishwasher, the oven, the microwave and the freezer. Remove the sticker from the base before use, as it contains a small amount of metal.
Pour tea into it alongside plates from the Marimekko collection.

Unikko on Oiva: the 1964 poppy meets 2009 stoneware
DesignerMaija Isola1927–2001
Oiva is Marimekko's everyday tableware, shaped by Sami Ruotsalainen and launched in 2009. Here it carries Unikko, the poppy Maija Isola drew in 1964. The range covers mugs, cups, bowls, plates, a teapot and jars, plus Unikko plates cut to the outline of the flower.

Built for daily use
White stoneware that goes in the dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer.
Mix and match
Every Oiva shape works with plain white and other Oiva prints.
Plates shaped as poppies
The Unikko plates in stoneware and glass take the flower's petal outline.
From espresso to serving
Sizes run from a 0.5 dl espresso cup to a 1.5 l serving bowl.
Seven words for a shape
Ruotsalainen guided Oiva with seven words: honest, relaxed, natural, practical, durable, modern and grounded. The shapes were meant to stay contemporary for decades and to carry Marimekko's bold prints.
A floral that broke a rule
Armi Ratia believed real flowers could not be printed faithfully, so early Marimekko had almost no florals. Isola drew Unikko anyway, as an abstraction of a flower. It became the house emblem of creativity.
Lay the table freely
Oiva was designed for everyday life, not formal settings. Use the 25 cm plate for dinner, the 20 cm for breakfast, the 5 dl bowl for porridge, and the 4 dl mug for long coffees. Mix printed and plain pieces as you like.
Materials
- White stoneware
- Made in Thailand; dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer safe.
- Ceramic decal
- The Unikko print is fired onto the glaze, so it holds up to daily washing.
- Maple and cork details
- The teapot handle is maple and the jars close with cork; wash these pieces by hand.
Isola was spotted by Armi Ratia in 1949 and worked for Printex and Marimekko until 1987. Over those years she drew more than 500 prints, among them Kivet, Lokki, Kaivo and Unikko. She painted freely with a brush, a way of working she called dancing with a brush.
Using it at home
Can Oiva / Unikko go in the dishwasher and microwave?
The stoneware cups, mugs, bowls and plates are dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer safe. Remove the base sticker first, as it contains a little metal.
Can I combine it with other Oiva prints?
Yes. All Oiva shapes share the same lines, so Unikko, plain white and other prints sit together.
Which cups are there?
A 0.5 dl espresso cup with saucer, a 2 dl coffee cup, a 2.5 dl teacup and a 2 dl handleless cup set.
What are the cups made of?
They are white stoneware or whiteware printed with Unikko.
