iittala Taika Red Dinner Plate - 10-1/2"

I searched through thousands of dish patterns before I saw these by Iittalla Taiko, vivid, enchantingly detailed dishes. I was stunned, and I never use that word. In person, these dishes are even more beautiful. The quality is very good. I like the size and the ease of cleaning them, also the versatility of mixing and matching the pieces. I would like to meet the designer and see more of his work. Finally, an artist who is not afraid of using color in this mundane, minimalist, "gray-everything", mid-century-boring era! btw I lived thru the 'mid-century' era: the design was boring then and it is boring now.

When I first saw these dishes, I couldn’t stop smiling. Hapaneimi has created whimsy and artistry with his art, which makes me enjoy the dishes everyday when I take them out of the cupboard. I certainly had no idea that after a few cups and dessert plates as a special treat for myself, that I would end up buying more and more until I have enough for an entire set of dishes! Buying dishes at the age of 74 may not be the most practical expenditure I have ever made. But even my husband’s face lights up with a grin when he sees how much I enjoy the dishes. I now have the dishes in red, blue, and white.
I know that were my grandmother and father still alive, they, too, would pleasure in the forest creatures and the colors while drinking hot, steaming coffee and sliced nisua (pulla).

I am renovating my kitchen to include some open shelves and plan to display this with some other pieces in navy and white, from the same collection. They are so eye catching, love the:!

I love products made in Finland since it is my home country.

Absolutely LOVE the design and quality of my new Iittala Taika plates, bowls , cups and saucers. Mixing and matching the red, blue and white pieces makes for a stunning table setting. FinnStyle is an amazing company to buy from. I will definitely keep coming back for more!

Large beautiful plate. I useit as a small serving platter or a dinner plate. Love it!

I bought these plates to go along with the blue and white plates I already own. They look great together on the table.

We purchased two more plates to add to our set of red Taika. I love the creatures.

The festive red color is perfect for Christmas dinner, but this happy color and pattern should not stay in the cupboard waiting for holiday season—I use these mixed together with blue Taika pieces for a vibrant and beautiful table year round.

My favorite plates

he will haunt your dreams. Better to heed the bird's call, and submit to the force that is Taika. Now!

I plan to use them as decorative plates on our dining room wall. That is, until I decide to order a set.

Iittala's Taika red dinner plates (10.5") is as cheerfully festive as one would hope. The perfect Christmas dinner plates for our table setting. Iittala's full Taika collection is whimsical and so beautifully done. I also have this plate in the 11 inch blue version. Like a colorful folk-story in fine porcelain. FinnStyle's service was remarkable from start-to-finish with safe, secure and fast shipping in plenty of time for Christmas.

I love this pattern.. Quality is high and it is good for holidays, but also for any other occasion.

The plates with the owl and the red theme are beautiful and bring Finnish design to our home and meals.

beautiful. well-made. solid. vibrant. i love flora & fauna & natural imagery---this is perfect.

I've been pondering this set for a couple of years and finally decided to purchase them when they went on sale. The design is so lovely and I'll be combining the red with the other colors for year round use.

This purchase completes my 8 piece collection of favorite X-mas dinner plates. I intend to use them more often other than the Holiday season!

This dinner plate is just beautiful. It is large. Makes an elegant table setting!

I have the Tanssi collection and added this for breakfast dishes.

Very excited to have added Red to my table setting pieces

Simply gorgeous. I can't wait to add to the set!

Love Taika in red. Item exactly as expected.

I'd been searching for these hard to find red iittala plates and was delighted to locate them at such a value!
They are beautiful and just what I wanted. Finn ordering was super easy and I had plates with in 5 days. Totally satisfied and will definitely purchase from them again!

The red Taika dishes make the most festive and joyful holiday table! Whimsical and magical.

Now I have red, white, and blue in most of the individual items (mug, bowl, plate, etc). Still haven't bought a big server.

Very pretty plates, colors were just as vibrant as expected when they arrived. Plates are solid and seem like they will indeed survive many years in regular rotation (yes, including trips through the dishwasher). Shipping from FinnStyle was reasonable, timely, and plates were very well packaged to avoid damage.

Beautiful artwork--so far just used as display. I would have preferred the owl look of the mug but still, I love it!

Wonderful to have a plate to match my mug and bowl.

When I first saw the photo of this plate, I was taken by the beautiful vivid colors and the striking owl on the plate. Although I stopped cooking years ago, I decided that the dishes would be wonderful to have for my casual style of entertaining. I intend to use them all year round, although I know they are considered a seasonal product.

I really enjoy it!)
