The mugs were not as finely crafted as other pieces of this china that II bought in the past. Then I saw the "Made in Thailand" sticker on the bottom which was not on the china I bought before. I think this explains the poor quality and workmanship that is so inconsistent with what one expects from Arabia/Ittalla products.

Pros
It is white.
Cons
Crude workmanship that stands out like a sore thumb when compared to previously purchased mugs (about 2 years ago) that absolutely does not justify the price nor the label.

Well made, great proportions, nice mug
December 30, 2011
My wife & I were looking for tea mugs that were just the right proportion and had white glazing so one could really see the color of the tea. Finnstyle had a couple of mugs in their inventory that would have worked, but this one seemed likely to feel the best in hand. Being a narrower and taller design, the beverage holds its temperature longer than a low and squat style. I'm glad we ordered this style, it's very well made, no slumping during firing evident, smooth flawless surface. My only caveat is that I was amazed to have paid $24 for a teacup made in the low wage country of Thailand.
