Great Combination Set

The Taika design is enchanting. The four pieces make a wonderful set. The bowl can be used for lots of things, including a decorative piece. I already have several mugs and they hold up to daily use, including microwave and dishwasher.
Pros
Excellent quality, durable.

I now have iitala Taika pieces in both the white and blue designs and love them both. They are bright and shiny and clean up beautifully, even after daily use of the mugs for black tea. Shipping was prompt and the product was well packed.

I've loved my single mug purchased years ago -- and it has remained my favorite. I stumbled across this site and found a great price for the mugs and the bowls -- and bought myself a Christmas present. The design is both elegant and whimsical, and is a generous size. This is a great price for both mugs and bowls, and my shipping was free. I will shop FinnStyle again (even as a Norwegian).

Iittala White Dinnerware Starter Set
December 29, 2016
I bought two of these starter sets on sale. They are beautiful! However, staff at Finnstyle should be aware the bowls do not stay put in their prepackaged slots in the boxes. The bowls shifted in both boxes so I would advise supplementary packing material. Miraculously,the bowls made it to my house intact.
Pros
Beautiful, great to get them on sale!
Cons
Pricey
