(ENG)<\/strong> I bought my first Kaj Franck’s pitcher 1621 on an online auction for 40 euros in the year 2009. It was a clear pitcher with rattan. This was the beginning of my collection of these pitchers, which I now have seven \u2013 five with rattan and two without it. The model number of the pitcher is 1621, but I have noticed some modifications having occured during the production years. In this blog post I will tell of my perceptions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kaj Franck\u2019s<\/strong> design aimed at practicality. He sought to design objects for everyday-life, not mere status-objects. Nuutaj\u00e4rvi focused more and more on this in the mid-1950s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Franck was interested in specific characteristics of and methods of manufacturing various materials. In addition to textiles, ceramics and glass he also designed some metal and plastic artefacts. He pondered and experimented with various material combinations. In these pitchers he has combined glass and rattan.<\/p>\n

Pitcher 1621 was in production during the period from 1955 to 1968 and again from 1993 to 2005. In a Nuutajarvi catalogue from 1958 there are mentioned two colors for the pitcher with rattan: smoke and moss green.<\/p>\n

The rattan in the blue pitcher is made of a continuous piece, but the rattan of the smoke gray and bright pitcher consists of two parts.<\/p><\/div>\n

PIC 2.<\/strong> Kaj Franck: pitcher 1621 pallo-sylinteri kaadin. The pitcher has probably been modified during the production years (1955-1968), since one of these pitchers (light blue\/turqouise) has different dimensions. Both of these pitchers have a similar edge (cracking-off\/cold cut-off), while the edge\u00a0that was in production from 1993 to 2005 is flame-cutting\/hot cutting, as in the new Kartio-pitcher (see my previous blog-post).<\/p><\/div>\n

PIC 3.<\/strong>\u00a0Kaj Franck: pitcher 1621 pallo-sylinteri kaadin. As you can see, the main difference is in the size of the sphere of the pitcher. On the left an older pitcher, on the right a newer one, probably from the 1960\u2019s. I suspect that the later production (1993-2005) was based on this 1960\u2019s model.<\/p><\/div>\n

Pirkko Timonen<\/strong> tells us in the book \u201dKattausten kulta-aika\u201d (\u201dThe Golden Age of table-settings\u201d) that\u00a0”There was a whole room dedicated to Kaj Franck’s production in a Triennale for industrial design in the late 1950s. All three models of the pitchers without a handle were on display. The cylinder model (1609) had six glasses within, Kimara-pitcher (1610) was exhibited in red and the ball-sylinterikaadin (1621) in brown. Most photographed were the Kremlin bells \u2013 double pitchers designed by Franck for Nuutaj\u00e4rvi. In domestic journals the tableware in the Triennale was accused of being far too luxurious for the living standards in Finland at the time. However, this proved Franck\u2019s farsightedness and courage in difficult economic times. The buyers turned out to be found internationally. The pitchers were sold worldwide in department stores and in well-known design boutiques ”.<\/em><\/p>\n

How do I recognize an original Kaj Franck: Pitcher 1621 pallo-sylinteri kaadin
\n<\/strong>Easiest way to identify the original pitcher is by checking its dimensions. In the following photos you can find the exact dimensions of the pitcher. I hope that this is helpful to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are looking for an old pitcher 1621, you should try out these vintage-shops:\u00a0Fiftysixty <\/a>\u00a0and Artdesign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pitcher can also be found in the collections of Moma<\/a> (New York Museum of Modern Art).<\/p>\n

(FI)<\/strong> Ostin ensimm\u00e4isen rottingilla varustetun 1621 kaatimen vuonna 2009 verkkohuutokaupasta. Kaadin oli kirkas, hinta 40 euroa postikuluineen. T\u00e4ll\u00e4 hetkell\u00e4 minulla on n\u00e4it\u00e4 rottinkisia kaatimia viisi kappaletta sek\u00e4 kaksi kaadinta ilman rottinkia. Vaikka kyseess\u00e4 on mallinumeroltaan sama kaadin, olen kuitenkin havainnut kaatimissa eroja. T\u00e4ss\u00e4 blogitekstiss\u00e4 kerron tekemist\u00e4ni havainnoistani.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kaj Franckin<\/strong> muotoiluk\u00e4sityksen t\u00e4rkein l\u00e4ht\u00f6kohta oli k\u00e4yt\u00e4nn\u00f6llisyys, h\u00e4n pyrki suunnittelemaan ihmisten arkeen sopivia k\u00e4ytt\u00f6esineit\u00e4, ei status-esineit\u00e4. Nuutaj\u00e4rvell\u00e4 keskityttiinkin 1950-luvun puoliv\u00e4liss\u00e4 entist\u00e4 enemm\u00e4n k\u00e4ytt\u00f6lasin muotoiluun. Franckia kiinnosti erilaisten materiaalien ominaispiirteet ja valmistusmenetelm\u00e4t, h\u00e4n muotoili tekstiilien, keramiikan ja lasin lis\u00e4ksi jonkin verran metallista ja muovista valmistettuja tuotteita. H\u00e4n pohti ja kokeili materiaaliyhdistelmi\u00e4. T\u00e4ss\u00e4 kaatimessa h\u00e4n on yhdist\u00e4nyt rottingin ja lasin. Nuutaj\u00e4rven kuvasto vuodelta 1958 mainitsee v\u00e4reiksi (kaadin rottingilla): savun ja sammalenvihre\u00e4n.<\/p>\n

Pirkko Timosen<\/strong> Kattausten kulta-aika -kirjassa kerrotaan, ett\u00e4 Kaj Franckin tuotantoa oli esill\u00e4 1950-luvun loppupuolella kokonainen huoneellinen kansainv\u00e4lisess\u00e4 teollisen muotoilun n\u00e4yttelyss\u00e4. \u201dKahvattomien kaatimien sarjasta esill\u00e4 oli kaikki kolme. Sylinterimallissa (1609) oli sis\u00e4ll\u00e4 kuusi lasia, Kimara-kaadin (1610) oli esill\u00e4 punaisena ja pallo-sylinterikaadin (1621) ruskeana. Kuvatuimpia olivat Franckin Nuutaj\u00e4rvelle muotoilemat Kremlin kellot \u2013kaksoiskarahvit. Kotimaisissa lehdiss\u00e4 triennaaliastioita moitittiin liian ylellisiksi suomalaisten elintasoon. Ne kuitenkin osoittivat tekij\u00e4ns\u00e4 kaukon\u00e4k\u00f6isyytt\u00e4 ja uskallusta taloudellisesti vaikeina aikoina. Ostajakunnasta tulikin varsin kansainv\u00e4linen. Astioita myytiin maailmanlaajuisesti tavarataloissa ja tunnetuissa designliikkeiss\u00e4\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mist\u00e4 tunnistan alkuper\u00e4isen vanhan kaatimen?<\/strong>
\nKaatimen mitat ovat helpoin tapa tunnistaa alkuper\u00e4inen kaadin. Oheisista kuvista l\u00f6yd\u00e4t tarkat mitat. Mik\u00e4li etsit alkuper\u00e4ist\u00e4 vanhaa kaadinta, niin seuraavista vintageliikkeist\u00e4 voit tiedustella asiaa: Fiftysixty <\/a>\u00a0ja Artdesign.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kaadin l\u00f6ytyy my\u00f6s MoMan (New York Museum of Modern Art) kokoelmasta.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

KUVA 1.<\/strong>\u00a0Kuten kuvasta huomaat rottingin leveydess\u00e4 on eroa. Sinisen kaatimen rottinkinauha on yhdest\u00e4 nauhasta, mutta savunharmaan ja kirkkaan rottinki on ohuempaa ja nauha on kahdessa osassa.<\/p>\n

KUVA 2.<\/strong>\u00a0Tuotannossa 1621 kaadin oli 1955-1968 ja 1993-2005. K\u00e4sitt\u00e4\u00e4kseni kaadinta on muokattu tuotantovaiheessa 1955-1968, koska toinen n\u00e4ist\u00e4 kaatimista on mitoiltaan erilainen. N\u00e4iden molempien kaatimien reuna on kylm\u00e4katkaistu, kun taas 1993-2005 tuotannossa ollut kaatimen reuna on kuumakatkaistu, kuten uusien kartiokaatimien. Olen vertaillut katkaisun eroja edellisen blogin<\/a> kuvatekstiss\u00e4.<\/p>\n

KUVA 3.<\/strong>\u00a0Suurin ero on kaatimen pallon koossa. Vasemmalla vanhempi kaadin, oikealla uudempi 1960-luvun kaadin. Mielest\u00e4ni 1993 tuotannossa ollut mallin esikuva on juuri t\u00e4m\u00e4 1960-luvun malli.<\/p>\n

KUVA 4.<\/strong>\u00a0Mitat: Korkeus: 23 cm, halkaisija\u00a0(pallo) 13 cm (kaula) 6,5 cm, pallon ymp\u00e4rysmitta\u00a0noin 41 cm, t\u00e4ynn\u00e4 1,4 litraa.<\/p>\n

KUVA 5.<\/strong>\u00a0Kaatimesta on my\u00f6s pienempi 12 cm \u00f6ljypullokoko (suunnitteltu vuonna 1953) , jota on k\u00e4ytetty maustesetiss\u00e4 sek\u00e4 myyty erikseen.<\/p>\n

KUVA 6.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00d6ljypullon korkeus 12 cm, suuaukko 2,9 cm (kirkas) 2,7 cm (savu), pohja 3,7 cm (kirkas) 3,8 cm (savu), ymp\u00e4rysmitta\u00a0(pallo) 25,4 cm (kirkas) 25 cm (savu), teak-korkki pohja 2 cm, yl\u00e4puoli 2,8 cm.<\/p>\n

KUVA 7.<\/strong> Designlasin hintakirjassa (Poolring Oy, 2005) mainitaan ett\u00e4 maustesettiin on kuulunut etikkapullo, pippurinsiroittaja, sinappiastia, suolakulho ja tiikkinen alusta. Erikseen on voinut ostaa j\u00e4lkiruokakulhoa (1369), marmeladit\u00f6lkki\u00e4 (1368) sek\u00e4 neli\u00f6maljaa puualustalla (nro ?). Kaikki n\u00e4m\u00e4 lasiosat ovat olleet puhallettuja, eiv\u00e4t puristelasia.<\/p>\n
