This 13.5 oz porcelain mug features a whimsical blue design with forest animals. Customers praised the "beautiful" and "magical" artwork, generous size, and comfortable handle. Many noted it's dishwasher and microwave safe with excellent durability. Some found it "a bit heavy." Highly recommended as a gift.

Beautiful, durable

These mugs are the perfect size with a comfortable handle. They have the heft of a mug but have a more delicate rim that is much nicer to drink from. The finish is glossy and gorgeous. I've owned a set of red Taika mugs for 8 years and used them daily, and none has ever chipped or shown any flaws. I'm buying more in blue because they are the only mugs that anyone in my household wants to use.

I love these mugs. Great size, comfortable handles, no staining. My only regret is I didn't buy more when other patterns were available. Best mugs ever

Great design, generous size :o)

I own IittalaTaika bowls and bought this mug for a young friend who loves it: he says it's his favorite mug!

Beautiful deep blue

This mug makes me happy every morning. I am drinking from it right now! I may be crazy but I think porcelain keeps the coffee/tea hotter than ceramic earthenware, so for me this is perfect. I should have probably gotten two red ones too...

Lovely useful mug!

I love the Taika pattern and this blue mug joins a red one my husband gave me years ago. I’d love a full set of dishes but alas, out of my price range right now.

I appreciate that the mug is appropriate for daily use because it is dishwasher and microwave proof. At the same time, it is beautiful, which is the best combination for everyday things. I am a huge fan of the Arts and Crafts movement, which combined beauty and usefulness in every household item. Iitala Taika fits in that groove well.

I’ll probably purchase a serving piece in the future.

The mugs are beautiful and fun. I particularly liked the black Italia coffee mugs. I would like one more but they are not listed currently.

These beautiful Taika are still shiny and new looking

After several years and hundreds of trips through the dishwasher. Their profile is sharp.

Elegant design for tea time

The blue Taika mug is so elegant for any occasion. It is definitely a great addition to Holiday season hot tea, hot chocolate or special coffee moments. I love it! I also purchased the red one and they look great together.

Nervous for no reason

I was fairly nervous about buying something so breakable by mail, but the guarantee of safe delivery was reassuring. It arrived completely unharmed, thanks to being extremely well wrapped and cushioned. I can't wait for it to be unwrapped on Christmas!

Magical mug

Pretty, but...

Bought this mug in blue, white and red. Overall impression is that of a rather heavy, overly solid, mug.
Expected a little more lightness and grace from an iittala product. Except for the recognizable design, could easily be mistaken for a nice "Made in China" mug.

But, they are pretty and the large size will be perfect for the intended gift recipient who likes larger mugs for her tea and coffee. So they are fine. But I wouldn't like these for myself, despite loving other iittala products (glassware).

Beautiful cup!

I gifted this beautiful blue cup to myself! I love the colors, the size, and the shape of the handle.

Great size!

I usually like the bigger cup for my morning coffee, but it is sometimes hard to find one like this.
It surely holds good amount of coffee I need, and I love the detailed design and the color.
I got a pair (blue and white) this time, but now more pairs are on my wishlist!

Love this !

I just love this mug ! I love the deep colors and the " Russian Fairy Tale " look to it. It is a nice , substantial size , too. I can't wait until the red mug is back in stock.

Gorgeous mugs just the right size for morning coffee

The color is so vibrant and seems to stand up to dishwasher. The design is delightful. I love saying good morning with the little fox and owls. Ceramic is sturdy but not too thick. I want a whole set! Red one is next.
