This 16-piece dinnerware set features a classic, timeless design praised for its durability and versatility. Customers loved the "creamy white" color that complements various decor styles. The set is dishwasher-safe, stackable, and perfect for both everyday use and special occasions. Some noted the bowls may be slightly small for cereal, and the flat bottom design can make spooning difficult.

This is a beautiful set. Packaged very safely. The color is more of a cream color than a pure white.

These are my daily dishes. A great weight, not too heavy and durable. Classic shape. I really enjoy them.

Great set of dishes and great company!

I took my time choosing dinnerware for my home in Maine and I am very happy with the Iittala Teema line. Be aware that the dishes are a creamy white rather than a bright white. This is one reason I chose them as they look beautiful with my midcentury teak dining table. The color of the dishes are consistent among sets so no worries about matching.

The 16pc starter set is very well thought out. Most people don’t need bread plates, matching mugs or tea cups and saucers so I like that these superfluous pieces are not included. Others have noted the flat bottom of the cereal/dessert bowls. This does make it a little harder to spoon up every last bit. This is a non-issue for me but you might care.

The style is sturdy, simple and solid but not clunky. I plan to use them for everyday as well as for dinner parties. The dishes stack perfectly in my Bosch dishwasher.

I am extremely happy I chose to buy from Finnstyle.com. (Note that I have no connection to the company). After receiving the dinnerware I decided to buy Teema glassware from them as well. Everything was packed perfectly and thoughtfully. The packing peanuts are made from biodegradable cornstarch, dissolve in water and, as a bonus they not have static electricity so they don’t fly all over the place. Shipping was very fast. I had a minor problem (no fault of Finnstyle) and found them to be extremely responsive, including answering the phone directly and quickly when called. No phone tree. If my experience was typical, this is a company that understands customer service!

To summarize, A+ for Finnstyle and A+ for the Iittala Teema line and 16pc Starter Set.

Simply Elegant

Having lived and worked in Finland for a number of years, I fell in love with all things Iittala. I wish I had purchased Teema dishes before I left but was thrilled to find them on the FinnStyle website. They are a welcome addition to my home.

The Wait Was Over! Teema On My Table

Hooray! This set went on sale and I bought it! I had been eyeing it for months, and now it's mine. The portion size is just perfect. I especially like the Pasta Bowl, and use it mostly for stir fry and salad. Nothing is overdone in this set, the design is so versatile. Looks great for any occasion.

Beautiful, high quality

My daughter helped pick these lovely dishes for me, and now I bought this starter set for her! They’re a perfect white - not stark - that offers warmth with its simplicity. High quality beauty.

Classic look

Classic look. Feels and looks great. The bowls may be a little small for cereal, but otherwise no complaints. I will likely be getting more in other colors.

Perfect

Just opened the package and am thrilled. The whole set is gorgeous and just what I was hoping for to replace my old, chipped dishes. Packaging from FinnStyle was particularly great - everything arrived safely! We will be enjoying these dishes for decades.

In LOVE with iittala!

It's a starter set or an add-on set (MY reason for purchasing). I cannot say enough about much I love the Teema White dishes. Just the right color, simple clean design, incredible durability and easily mixes with my more colorful iittala settings.

Great set of dishes

We received these very quickly from FinnStyle. Great sizes and design. The raid ridges of the plates that other reviews commented on are of no concern to me. Great quality. We bought the white which is really more of a bone color that I like more than a stark white.

Quality can't be beat

I bought this set for my everyday dishes. I had previously purchased red pieces and blue pieces when they were on sale, but needed several more pieces to have enough for everyday use. These dishes are heavy duty, can be microwaved, and come out beautiful out of the dishwasher. I thought I wouldn't like the "lip" on the edge of the plates, but I actually don't notice it now. And the shape and size of the bowls is perfect. I use the smaller ones for cereal and ice cream and the larger ones are perfect for salad or pasta. And the other reason these dishes are perfect is because they are timeless. You can coordinate them with anything else in the Teema collection for years and years to come.

Elegant Set

Love this set. I didn't think I would use pasta bowels - but I have had the set for only 2 weeks and used them several times. I appreciate the previous review warning that they are not a pure white. My previous set was pure white and this set is more of a creamy white - but it gives it more depth and richness. One of the dinner dishes arrived cracked and customer service sent a replacement immediately. I love the cereal bowels - perfect size.

Wonderful dishes

Despite the fact that each of the dishes hold normal servings, they are designed to be both light and easy to store and clean in dishwasher. My only suggestion is to add some additional colors. The two alternatives for white are not enough.

Great product at the best price!

My husband and I had our eye on this product for a while now. Finally pulled the trigger on the purchase and couldn't be happier with the price we received from this company. They shipped rapidly, and within no time we were able to enjoy our new purchase.

Dress it up. Or down.

I wanted a dinnerware set that I can use everyday and for special gatherings/dinner events. Teema is perfect for this. Hard to believe it was designed in the 1960's. Truly a timeless collection. I pair it with Kartio tumblers and Dewdrop tumblers, to add color. Perfect for my mid-century modern house, but will also work in a traditional home. Super versatile. Only surprise was that the 'white' color is not a bright white but rather a very creamy warm white (borderline beige). It will clash with any bright white additions.

Great dishes!

We have these dishes at our vacation home and like them so much we decided to get them for our home. They are very durable and are the classic look that can be dressed up or down. They match everything, so when you want to use different colored napkins, it is a very classic look.

Perfect!

I mainly bought these as a breakfast set to complement my Teema coffee and tea mugs. But now use them all the time. The color is a nice warm white and it's high quality for everyday use. They make for nice serving small bowls and plates too.

Love the classic design and clean color

This set was priced to sell, and I love it. I have the iitala teema set in green, and this compliments it perfectly. I like the two different sizes of the bowls. One is called a plate but it is a bowl. Good for pasta, salad, etc. I want more of these for sure!
