ABOUT MARISKOOLI:
The vibrant Marskooli bowls have been in production since the 1960s by the Finnish Nuutajärvi Glassworks, but it was only after Marimekko founder, Armi Ratia used them at one of her famous garden parties that the bowls became much sought after.
Marimekko took the bowl under their brand as a producer during the 1980:s and Iittala continued making them with Marimekko after concern arrangements.
Mariskooli bowls was made in two sizes (120 mm or 155 mm high) and in several colors. Many of the colours are the same as on the Kivi votives.
For few first decades Mariskooli bowls were produced without molded texts. They started to use molde numbers and molded Marimekko text in 2004 on the bottom. During 1980-2004 they used a special white silky sticker with Marimekko and Iittala printed on the sticker.
Suitable for serving or display, Mariskooli remains popular year after year.
