The Marimekko Oiva / Unikko Jar is the tall white stoneware jar in the series, its Unikko pattern worked white on white and its cork lid marked with the Marimekko logo inside. Maija Isola drew Unikko in 1964, when Marimekko's collections were still dominated by abstract prints, shaping it as an abstraction of a flower rather than a likeness of one, and the poppy has stood for creativity ever since.
It is made of 100% whiteware with a lid of cork and wood in Thailand, holds 1.2 litres and comes in White. The material is food safe, so it takes flour, pasta or cereal, and the lid is best washed by hand.
Pair it with the smaller jar in 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 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 sizes are there?
The jars come in 0.7 l and 1.2 l sizes.
How do the jars close?
Each jar has a cork lid.
What are the jars made of?
Whiteware printed with Unikko, with a cork lid.
How do I clean the jar?
Wash the whiteware jar and keep the cork lid out of water; wipe the cork with a damp cloth and let it dry.
