iittala Teema White Dinner Plate

I have been using these Iittala Teema dinner plates daily since I got married over 40 years ago. Most of the originals are still in use, but some have chipped in use, so I bought two replacements from Finnstyle. They fit seamlessly with my existing set and look good both at everyday family meals and when entertaining.

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.

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.

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!
