Good to know

Iittala describes itself as a pioneer of Finnish design and works with designers whose pieces became classics of Scandinavian living. The glassworks in Iittala was expanded and renovated by Fiskars. Many series are sold as single pieces, so a set can grow over time. Iittala is a good starting point for readers who prefer modern Nordic design to ornate traditional porcelain.
