iittala Taika Blue Dinner Plate - 11-3/4"

This is the family's all time favorite dish ware pattern. We've had our set since this pattern was first introduced, which I think was 12 years ago. Most of the dishes still look as good as new. But because we can see scratches on our daily used plates, I decided to freshen things up and buy more dinner plates to "renew" the set. Great pattern. It has held up over the years. Microwavable and dish washer safe!

Love this! And I had a hard time finding this specific item. So glad I was able to!

I bought this to replace a plate that I broke. These are beautiful dishes, but take note of their size as they are larger than most conventional dinner plates.

Beautiful china, great quality!

Very good quality!

Love the pattern, makes me happy to set my table. Keep in mind that these are quite large. I chose this size because I prefer this pattern to the one on the slightly smaller dinner plate and because i already had the 9 inch coupe bowls which I thought would fit better with this size. They take up a lot of room in the cabinets, though, and a lot of room on a table.

I love this pattern. The whimsical design is delightful and the colors make the table beautiful. I was afraid that the dark blue wouldn't look good with food, but it works perfectly. The quality of these dishes is superb. We will use and enjoy them for years to come.

I bought the small bowls and several mugs from the Ittala Taika pattern to complement the very simple Lenox china I have had for 30 years. I was so delighted by the quality and design that I've decided to build a complete set. These plates are larger than the norm, very sturdy and so detailed. They are a pleasure in all ways.

I first discovered this beautiful dinnerware about 5 years ago in Minnesota, and have been adding a piece here and there ever since. As one who has never officially had "fine china" this fits that indulgence for me. I love both the owl and the fox that are in the patterns. The dinnerware is sturdy. Even though it has the feel of being somewhat delicate, (at least in comparison to my stocky Fiesta Ware), it really holds up well to use. And, I finally have enough place settings that I can set my Christmas table with it this year for my expanding family!

I have been growing my collection with each sale. I love the owl on the larger dinner plates and wish they were an option for the smaller lunch plates. The eyes on the lunch plate owl kinda freaks me out, as the coloring just doesn't seem to belong, too intense.
That aside, the durability iittala Taika is surpassed by none. Nerve damage in my hands makes the dropsy a daily event and they have performed remarkably! I have knocked the coffee mugs on my stone counter so hard I just knew it was broken, not a scratch! Dishwasher safe and no fading after 6 years of use and still look brand new. I highly recommend Taika and I am sure other iittala patterns are just as well made. A quality product that has outperformed my Wedgewood bone china as well as my German made china. Love Love Love it!

Beautifully made. I had a hard time choosing between the black and white pattern and the white with color pattern. All of them are amazing. The black and white has a strong, updated, almost mid-century sensibility, but the color version feels more detailed and can be mixed-and-matched with the blue and red backgrounds. In the end I selected the black and white and I'm very pleased with my decision.

I love the bird / owl on this plate and the deep blue background is gorgeous. i find the big size is great but have to put it on the outer side of the dishwasher. Will keep on buying this pattern though as it is stunning and goes well with some of my marimekko and royal copenhagen blue/white patterns

Taika black dinner plate goes well with Teema white plates and celadon green plates. This black and white pattern is the most stylish among Taika three color variations. You can use this plate as a dinner plate, but also it is big enough to serve a whole cake or pie at the luncheon party.

These Taika, which means "magic" in Finnish plates are really magic. Taika white plates go well with orange color foods, like a pumpkin pie, or roasted tender pork. Perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. I love them.

I often use this Taika blue plate (11-3/4") for cakes and pies to celebrate special occasions. This plate makes your cakes more special and elegant than usual. Sprinkle some powder sugar. Perfect.

I absolutely love my new iittala Taika dinnerware. The blue color is vibrant, very striking. Makes a lovely table setting.

Absolutely love my iittala Taika dinner ware!!! I love the owl print on the blue and white plates. Very gorgeous dinner ware. Makes me very proud to be Finnish, using these lovely dishes.

These large plates are beautiful, and they nest in a stack with same-shape, same-size Aika plates.

I find that this shade of Blue entwined with the other colors make for a beautiful eye-appealing dinner setting.

I wanted to buy a big plate with unique design for family dinner. But I can not find it where I live.I have been seeking for dishes for a long time. I was so lucky to know Finnstyle site that can ship to outside of USA. Also you have the best prices and shipped very fast and well packageed.Higly recommended and would definitely trade again.. The dishes are vibrant and so great that I want. Many thanks.

What a beautiful, fanciful pattern. Love them!

The plates are wonderful to look at and we enjoy them. We were surprised as they were larger than what we have come to expect as standard size for dinner plates. No matter - we're keeping them.

Beautiful dinnerware
