Ego, designed by Finland’s Stefan Lindfors, is a collection of glossy white porcelain stoneware that puts balance and gravity into playful curiosity. Ego’s design is highly original; its tea cups have distinctively long handles that off-set the cup inside the saucer, creating a dramatic optical effect. The bowl and pitcher handsomely complement the tea service, with their dramatic angles and playful whimsy.
Cup Measures: 1-3/4" tall x 2-1/2" in diameter (4.5 x 6 cm)
Cup Holds: 3.5 oz (10.5 cl)
Saucer Measures: 4-3/4" (12 cm) in diameter
Care: Oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe

First founded as a glassworks company in 1881, iittala is now a leading company in modern Finnish design producing a range of dinnerware, glassware and art pieces. You’d be hard-pressed to find a Finn or fan of Finnish design that doesn’t recognize the iittala logo, designed by Timo Sarpane... More iittala
Love this item. Arrived well and in good time; however, I was disappointed that I had to pay customs in addition to having paid for shipping and handling.

Drink with an Ego

If you enjoy an Espresso, your drinking experience will undoubtedly get an added 'kick' with these Ego cups & saucers,
Sculptured with fluid gentle curves and angles, the design add modernity to an otherwise conventional daily object. Iittala has certainly made the Ego line "Object d'Art".
As usual, transaction with Finnstyle was smooth, delivery quick and overall experience great!
Pros
The design and white colour will not date.
Had initally bought the Ego Coffee Cups from Finnstyle and now very happy to expand collection with the Espresso set. Disappointed missing out on the Breakfast cups.
Cons
People who often stick their finger into a round handle of most coffee cups might find it slightly uncomfortable to begin with.
