Flora & Fauna is a series of modern collectors' art plates that breaks down the barrier between design and art. Its design and manufacture draw on the traditions of Finnish applied arts, which Arabia has developed and modernized since 1873. Every year a new plate is released and manufactured for a limited time only.

Arabia's 2006 Fauna Plate : The Bear uses modern and trendy colors-- brown and light blue-- and minimalist, figurative illustrations. The sleek porcelain plate has rounded square edges that slightly bow toward the center where a slightly raised circle frames our hero, The Bear. The illustrations on the plate make reference to the fable The Bear and the Mouse. The Aesop fable's moral is that Everyone can help and everyone needs help.

The art plate has a hook on the back so you can hang the plate on your wall. The Bear Plate measures approximately 8" in diameter. The collector's piece also has a certificate of authenticity and carries the signature of the artists, Eeva Sivula & Pekka Toivanen, on the back of the plate.
