Everyday design against throwawayism. The proof of good design is to stand the test of everyday use. iittala products are expected to withstand daily wear and tear as well as survive changes in tastes and trends, to remain relevant and cherished.
The oldest iittala products date back to the 1930's, long before Scandinavian design came to the attention of the world. With the thinking of legendary designers Kaj Franck (1911-1989) and Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) at the heart of the brand, iittala continues to be a major driving force of design.
Established in 1881, iittala has a long tradition of glass craftsmanship. Mouth-blown, non-leaded crystal in combination with vibrant colors has long been a staple of the brand as can be seen in the Aalto vase and the Toikka collectible birds. In addition to the art glass, iittala has proven successful with their supremely combinable lines of dinnerware.
iittala objects hold a deeper meaning, beyond the shape and surface function. Some may seem ingenious while others are kind and rewarding. iittala believes that creating the perfect glass starts with the hand that will hold it and with questions about what the hand would prefer to hold. All products are compatible with one another to cater for every occasion as well as personal taste. Many of iittala's earliest designs are still in demand and in production. Objects with a clear thought, created in order to achieve long lasting, everyday use and inspiration. For you, your children, and their children's children.

Comments about iittala Taika 20 Oz. White Bowl:
I love the Taika pattern! I saw these dishes in Helsinki and absolutely fell in love with them. Then, I found them online on your website. They are perfect to use everyday, very stylish, and reminds me of my Scandinavian heritage and I also have them displayed throughout my home. The pattern is so unique. I wish there were more serving pieces with this. I have both the blue and white and love them both. The packaging is absolutely perfect - they are very well protected and I have not had one piece arrive broken or chipped. [...]

Comments about iittala Taika 20 Oz. White Bowl:
Great item! Not that porous light ceramic that chips at first use, but nice, dense, heavy, solid ceramic. Very nice feel and weight, with gorgeous artwork. I only wish the pictures were clear to let the shopper know that both the owl AND peacock motifs are printed on the item, and not just one of the birds. I ended up buying a bowl in white, so I could get the peacock too, when I would have preferred to get it, or another cup in the blue.
