First founded as a glassworks company in 1881, iittala is now a leading company in modern Finnish design producing a range of dinnerware, glassware and art pieces. You’d be hard-pressed to find a Finn or fan of Finnish design that doesn’t recognize the iittala logo, designed by Timo Sarpane... More iittala
Born in Finland in the early 1900’s, designer Kaj Franck preferred deconstructed design and valued usability as it directly related to beauty. In removing excessive elements, his simplistic designs are comfortable and easily palatable for home use. Franck’s hauntingly beautiful Kartio Glass... More Kaj Franck
This "teacup" is the perfect size to hold a single serving of coffee from my Jura machine (the default setting; I did not customize the machine's serving size). The cup feels nice in my hands and looks uncluttered and lovely when perched in the saucer. The saucer is more like a plain flat little dish, which I prefer because I can use it as a small dish and not just a saucer. Plus, that leeway allows me to move the cup to the side and keep a spoon, a steeped teabag, or small treat to the side of the cup. The cup doesn't really slide around on its own because it has a flat base. I really like this set.
Pros
Versatile small dish design

Saucer is not a saucer

I am bummed about the design of this set. The cup is darling, would be the perfect after dinner cup of black coffee. The saucer is not a saucer - there is no rim to keep the cup in the center. It is with a heavy heart that I am returning these. :(
Merchant Response:Kaj Franck intentionally designed this piece to be versatile. This can be used as a small plate or a saucer. It does not have an inner rim as the review states.
Pros
Cup is adorable and the perfect size for after dinner coffee.
Cons
Saucer is a small plate, not a saucer. No inner rim to keep cup on place.

These Teema teacups and saucers are good size for coffee after dinner. I often use saucers as small plates. Design is simple, modern and neat. I enjoy mix colors of Teema teacups and saucers.
