Attractive and functional
April 15, 2024
My previous set of dishes (a different brand) had a cereal bowl that was just too large capacity-wise, while the soup bowl in that set was both too wide and too shallow (allowing soup to cool too fast). This bowl is a welcome improvement! It is the perfect size for oatmeal, soup, chili, etc. It also fits a large serving of ice cream or other desserts. Smaller dessert servings fit with ample room for containing any possible messiness with sauces or loose toppings. I really like this bowl style for my set of everyday dishes.

I have been using soup bowls for many years, and want to add a new color to my cupboard, so I chose black. The bowl is always functional and useful.
Compared to the old version of bowls, the new one seems to be lighter.

My first Iittala bowls and I am never buying anything else. These are so simple but so luxurious, feels like a celebration to use them, eat from them. Almost like the food tastes better because the dish looks so beautiful. 🖤

Very happy with these bowls! They are slightly off-white, which surprised me in person. I like the shape—modern without being stark—and they’re a good size for cereal or snacks.

I love the terra-cotta color
October 19, 2021
It coordinates perfectly with both Korento and Taika for a festive, colorful contemporary tabletop. These well designed pieces just make me happy!
Pros
  • Matches/coordinates with other Iittala patterns.
Cons
  • Discontinued color. So sad.

Well designed bowl

I grew up with this design through the 1960s when it was first offered through Arabia. Familiar and well designed. Wish they were still made in Finland though.

Never regret to own these bowls
August 10, 2021
These Iittala Teema bowls never disappoint me. This is the third color I purchased and I love all the colors. It is a simple design yet so cute and functional. Due to the functionality it’s got a descent weight but I love the durability. It goes well with other teema colors and designs, Paratissi and Marimekko plates on the table. I really enjoy them.

The Delights of Good Design
August 26, 2012
We used the Teema cereal bowls for breakfast every morning at our hotel in Helsinki this Spring. Using them now for breakfast every morning back in Minneapolis brings back the pleasures and the memories of Finland. Like so many Iittala products, the design (by Kaj Frank) is stunning and timeless.
Pros
  • Weight, colors, stackability, and durability
