The Marimekko Oiva / Unikko Teapot holds 7 dl and has a ceramic strainer, with a wooden handle and a wooden peg on the lid. Unikko was born in 1964, at a time when Marimekko's collections featured mostly abstract prints, and Maija Isola drew a whole range of floral designs from the theme; today the flower stands for creativity.
Made in Thailand from 100% white stoneware with a maple wood component, it is food safe and comes in White / Red / Blue and White. Hand wash only, and remove the sticker from the base before use, as it contains a small amount of metal.
Bring it to the table for a long afternoon of tea with cups 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
How do I care for the teapot?
Wash it by hand, do not use it on a hob, and do not soak the maple handle.
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.
How much does the teapot hold?
It holds 7 dl, enough for about three cups of tea.
What is it made of?
White stoneware with a maple wood handle; it weighs 1.32 kg.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Because of the maple handle it should be washed by hand.
