To counterbalance the exuberance of the decoration, the design is translated on a simple shape featuring classic, clean lines. This plate is also availble in a blue background.

While most iittala dinnerware embraces form over ornamentation, Taika breaks the mold. True, the forms are clean and simple, but the surfaces are wildly decorated with imaginative owls, foxes, and trees in a rich Nordic tradition. Taika means magic in Finnish, and the enchanted forest theme is apt. The designer of these fanciful scenes is Finnish illustrator and artist Klaus Haapaniemi, a rising star in the international design world. Each porcelain mug, bowl, or plate comes in either a white or midnight-blue background, which allows for individualized expression in mixing together or with iittala’s all-white Aika dinnerware.

The Taika 8-1/2-inch salad plate is the ultimate versatile size for a sandwich, side salad, or dessert. Haapaniemi’s regal red-tailed fox takes center stage on this plate, while the mysterious owl commands the dinner plate. Taika dinnerware is made in Finland of durable porcelain for everyday use, and is safe in the oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. –Ann Bieri
