Q & A
Indulging in coffee or hot chocolate will be a magical moment when it's sipped from these fun yet sophisticated mugs. The set is adorned with Klaus Haapaniemi's Taika (Magic) pattern, which tells the story of an enchanted forest full of fanciful creatures with a folkloric feel. Freezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe, these pretty porcelain pieces possess the special quality found in formal china but carry the convenience of daily dinnerware. Absent of color, the contrasting design is easily combined with other iittala pieces to tell a tale with your tablescape. A boxed set perfect for gifting to a friend or yourself, the iittala Taika White / Black Mug Set will be a long-lasting favorite.

Pretty, but...
January 31, 2022
Bought this mug in blue, white and red. Overall impression is that of a rather heavy, overly solid, mug. Expected a little more lightness and grace from an iittala product. Except for the recognizable design, could easily be mistaken for a nice "Made in China" mug.
But, they are pretty and the large size will be perfect for the intended gift recipient who likes larger mugs for her tea and coffee. So they are fine. But I wouldn't like these for myself, despite loving other iittala products (glassware).

These mugs are the perfect size with a comfortable handle. They have the heft of a mug but have a more delicate rim that is much nicer to drink from. The finish is glossy and gorgeous. I've owned a set of red Taika mugs for 8 years and used them daily, and none has ever chipped or shown any flaws. I'm buying more in blue because they are the only mugs that anyone in my household wants to use.
