Provenance: From the collection of Hilkka Hellevi Korpivaara, thence by descent. Hilkka Korpivaara, née Wright (1929-2017), was born in Vyborg in Finnish Karelia, now Russia. Her family fled Vyborg in 1939 at the start of the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland, and settled in Helsinki. In 1951 she married Paavo Korpivaara (1922-2004), who in 1954 became the director of his family’s business, Korpivaara Oy, one of Finland’s largest car dealerships. From a young age, Hilkka was highly interested in design and fashion. She designed her own clothes together with the fashion designer and co-founder of Marimekko, Riitta Immonen. Her passion also led to many years of active collecting. She was especially fascinated by Asian art and acquired a collection of fine Chinese ceramics, mainly buying from auction houses and dealers in Helsinki, Stockholm, and London from the 1970s to the early 1990s.
