iittala debuts a new dish set with whimsical dragonflies flitting to and fro across the petals of a striking orange flower in full bloom. Designed to coordinate with iittala Teema dishware, the Korento Coffee Cup and Saucer Set feature the green buzzing dragonfly on the face of the saucer and across the body of the cup. Both pieces are freezer, microwave, oven and dishwasher safe and their bright colors are reminiscent of a warm summer day.

We love these cups and saucers and use them all the time. The saucer works very well of a small snack and it's pattern is a lovely compliment to that on the cup.

saucer not quite right
August 24, 2012
I love the colors and pattern of the cup, but the design is not as harmonious in the saucer: lines in the flowers and stems are less curvy than in the cup, giving the saucer a more rigid feel; and the smaller designs in the saucer mean that at first sight the fine lines of orange and green colors blend into a quite ugly brown -- all in all the saucer does not match its beautifully dreamy cup.
I bought this as a gift - I will either return both or give the cup and discard the saucer (though this would make a pretty expensive cup)
Merchant Response:The scale of the pattern does vary slightly on the saucer when compared closely to the cup. Most customers have not had an issue with the size/line/shape/color of the saucer, but it will not be an exact match to the cup, so it is a matter for preference you should consider.

I enjoyed them for high quality and gorgeous colours. This size saucer is perfect for cookie like small portion. I want to buy blue flower too. I was thrilled with purchase. Thanks.
