Q & A
A set of simple, sturdy dinner plates is a necessity for any modern home, and many would argue that iittala Teema is the best basic to invest in. An undisputed classic Scandinavian dinnerware, Teema is celebrated for its innovation, function, durability and beauty. Microwave, oven, freezer and dishwasher safe, it translates effortlessly from everyday dining to more formal gatherings. Designed by Kaj Franck in 1952, Teema remains a practical and versatile dinnerware that complements the entire range of iittala dinnerware and glassware, including the popular iittala Origo and iittala Kartio collections.

Price is for one plate
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
My favorite new everyday dish! I started to collect Teema for my everyday use housewares. It is fun to find new colors, mix match plates. Great quality! I'll be looking for more (different shapes, size and colors) to add for our kitchen. Highly recommended.

Simple and elegant
September 22, 2024
This lightweight plate matches with many table lines and table wear.
These plates are a lovely shade of warm-white. Compared to my previous dishes that had a wide and flattened rim, this plate has a similar footprint but has more usable space for food. The angled rim is also useful for keeping any liquids safely on the plate. The steep rim makes the plate slightly cumbersome to handle while hand-washing and rinsing both sides, but my hands are probably smaller than average. Despite the angled rims, the plates fit into my dishwasher with no problem. Overall, I much prefer these plates to my old pottery-type plates, which were much bulkier in a stack and much heavier to handle. I love the minimalist appearance, easy care, and durability.
Pros
Minimalist styling
Large amount of usable space per inch
Easy care

Great modern plates
October 21, 2023
Bought this set recently and have been very impressed. They are very contemporary and feel durable. The color is a soft white. They do look a bit off white when mixed with other bright white plates/bowls, but I thought they looked fine with our white serving dishes. They mix well with other Iittala dishware and glasses.

The Best Dishes!
September 27, 2023
I have had Teema white dinner plats for over 10 years. I wanted to add some more and purchased linen color . I may like linen color more than white. It is beautiful, feels and looks great. I would buy it again with no hesitation!

Great Dinnerware!

I’m in love. Teema dinnerware are great. Just the right color white and perfectly weighted. Just the right size too. Love that there are ridges for scooping food. I have purchased C/B dinnerware but these are much better quality. Don’t hesitate to purchase!

Finnstyle service couldn't have been better
December 27, 2017
1) FinnStyle response and mailing could not have been faster. Packaging was amazing. 2) Teema Black Dinner Plates were well worth the price. However, they are about 1/8 inch smaller in diameter than the original plates we purchased many, many years ago. But the dimensions on the web site are accurate so it is my fault I didn't check our old plates. Also, the slope of the rim is somewhat different But as a matter of fact, I don't think these minor differences will be notices when ix them on the dining table. My wife was thrilled with them when she opened her package.

Since 1973
December 1, 2015
In 1973 I registered for wedding gifts at Lord and Taylor in Dallas, Texas. My soon-to-be, mother-in-law thought my choices were odd. She thought fancy flowery dishes and sterling flatware were what I should chose. My choices were Arabia "Kilta" (now Ittala "Teema") dishes and Dansk "Thistle" stainless. The marriage didn't last but the plates and flatware are still beautiful timeless design. Every couple of years I add a few dishes to replace a few broken pieces. Thanks FinnStyle for carrying on the beautiful simple design of Kaj Franck (ca.1948)
Pros
A classic, simple design reminiscent in some ways of English ironstone. It stacks and stores very compactly. The upturned rims of the plates keeps sauces and gravy on the plate instead of the table.

Why did I wait so long
December 10, 2014
I've bought dinnerware multiple times in my life. I've always had an eye on these but went with something less expensive in the past. The less expensive alternatives, added up, would have paid for these a few times over. I saved nothing. I'll have these for life and they're worth every penny. They've been in production for so long that I'm not worried about not being able to replace a plate or two that might break over the years.
Pros
Classic and well made

We adore these plates. They are attractive and practical. My husband and I like the lips or rims on these plates. Food looks so very attractive on these most versatile plates.

I recently decided to start collecting Iitalla dishes for everyday use now that my children have grown up and "left the nest".

These dark blue plates match perfectly and together with the pasta bowls I now have a lovely 4 place settings. I plan to purchase additional pieces in the future

July 25, 2014
I love the dinnerware..in fact, just completed my basic set and was all set to give you a rave review until I realized all of these products were going on sale and you could have let me know that - I have loved your store and always enjoyed letting people know about it...bummer that you don't think to let your customers know when they order something, it might be coming up for sale.
I will continue to build on this set...will watch for your sales, but can always rely on Macy's.

They replied within 30 minutes and one hour later, I got a notification email that replacement plates have been shipped. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and experience with FinnStyle.

Just a great simple dish. Nice lines. Almost a Tiffany box blue. Wonderful with the Korento pieces and it was packed very carefully. The plates have a plastic liner on the bottom in shipping to prevent the unglazed bottom edge from scratching other plates in shipment. Nice packing detail !
