Don't just set the table; tell a tale. Klaus Haapaniemi, the artist who brought us iittala Taika (Magic), now invites us into the whimsical world of Tanssi (Dance). A great gift or addition to your own Tanssi collection, this boxed espresso cup and saucer set is beautifully designed and crafted. The vitro porcelain of this special set is dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer safe, making it as sensible as it is stunning for special occasions and everyday dining.

Woodland Creatures Espresso Cup Set (iittala Tanssi)
June 4, 2016
I am a recent convert to the iittala Tanssi line and now have the espresso cup set, tin storage can, kitchen towel, coffee cup set, and the dinner place settings. The pattern is precious and endearing if you are a fan of animals. Whimsical, amusing, imaginative, distinctive. I feel special when meals are served using the Tanssi creations.
Pros
Sturdy and made well.
Cons
iittala can be a bit pricey for those of us on a budget unless the items are on sale.
