In 2007, Iittala launched the highly individual Taika 4-1/2-inch espresso saucer by Klaus Haapaniemi, an internationally renowned illustrator. Klaus Haapaniemi has a very distinctive style of decoration, and combining this style with the basic values of the Iittala range produces an exciting mix. This plate, and the complimentry pieces in this collection, has a fantesy story told on it"s surface, bringing an exciting and colorful presentation to the table! To counterbalance the exuberance of the decoration, the design is translated on a simple shape featuring classic, clean lines. This saucer is also availble in a blue background with a matching espresso cup. A new design and look for your table - only from iittala.
