We have had two of these mugs (1 rd, 1 blue) for many years. We accidentally chipped one and decided to expand to six (3 ea) for cheery but not formal company. We are thinking about giving friends a full set of table ware as a house warming gift. We are also considering other options for them so this is tentative.

Favorite Mug
April 13, 2022
Like everyone, I have collected many mugs over the years, but this is my favorite. A few years ago Finnstyle sent me a couple of blue ones as part of a promotion, and I have always preferred them - right size, right shape, easy to hold and handle - I have small hands and arthritis in my fingers. Now I have a new coffee maker and decided to celebrate by getting 2 more of these mugs. The red color is rich and very pretty - now I have 4 and don't have to worry about availability - they wont always be in the dishwasher when I need one!

Beautiful, generously sized mugs
February 1, 2022
I ordered these to go with the salad plates and soup bowls in the same pattern and color. The mugs hold about 12 oz.--just right for tea on a cold day. I chose the pattern as Christmas china, but probably will end up using it all winter. The fine quality makes them a pleasure to hold and drink from. They're also safe to use in the microwave.
Pros
They were out of stock when I wanted to buy them, but FinnStyle said they'd notify me when they were available again. They ended up arriving a couple of days before the other, in-stock items. The packing kept them in perfect condition.

This mug is the perfect size and it is heavy enough. The shape is elegant. I was immediately taken by this designer's work. I had searched through hundreds of dish designs before I found his. I look forward to seeing what he may design next. This mug is very functional as well, can be microwaved, and put in dishwasher. His designs are one-of-a-kind.

Nice weight, good size. Easy to clean and can microwave.

The PERFECT Collection of Mugs
December 3, 2020
We first received the iittala Taika White mugs years ago and one of them last year sadly broke. This year for Christmas I purchased not only the replacement white one I also purchased one red and one navy. My fiance needed a new mug and I just couldn't resist. I am IN LOVE with these mugs. They are the perfect size and are gorgeous to look at. I hope you buy them...you won't regret it.

I already have three other Taika mugs in different colors as well as several Taika bowls. I love the pattern, and was happy to find that I could get this red one to round out the mug colors I have. This mug holds the perfect (to me) amount of coffee --using 12 oz of water for a single-serve cup of coffee. These Taika pieces are actually "happy", and others have told me how much they like them. They were packed very well when sent so that there wouldn't have been any chance of chips or breaks.

A perfect Christmas mug. I am giving it to my American friend as a Christmas gift. I love the design. Who is the designer? It is supposed to be made by Iiittala. The sticker says it was made in Thailand. If it had been made in Finland, like I thought when I purchased it, I had given 5 stars.

Bring a little Folklore to your Teatime
December 16, 2017
I have been a huge fan of the Taika design ever since it first launched. My father bought two of these for me and my partner on our first Christmas-in-the-US to help ease the home sickness and bring a little Finnish design to our home. Beautiful good quality porcelain, sturdy cups, good quality printing and design with an excellent depth of colors.
We mix it with the deep red Teema for the holidays.
My favorite tea mug by far.

Nice addition to your Taika set. Taller and narrower than most mugs.
December 23, 2016
I got this as a gift. It works with Teema and of course the Taika dinnerware. Personally, I prefer the proportions of the Teema large mugs and Marimekko mugs. This mug is tall and narrow, larger than the Teema and Marimekko mugs. Nice if you like larger mugs, or already have the Taika set. However, I won't be buying more as I prefer the size and shape of Teema and Marimekko mugs.

I am absolutely delighted with this product. It's just the size I've been looking for and the Finnish folklore design is a pleasure to behold. Most cups are awkward to hold, some are top heavy and tipsy, some handles are too large or too small for my hands. Some have rims that are curled and difficult to drink from. This cup has none of those defects! And it holds a good cup and half of liquid.

I was so pleased when I received the Taika mug. Not only is the pattern bright and fun but the mug is substantial. The thickness of the porcelain is perfect and adds just enough weight to the mug. The height accommodates enough of one's drink while still being able to keep hands warm around the mug. The only con is the price but then again it's Iittala so the quality is renowned. I've had smaller Iittala mugs for over 12 years without one chip and everyday use.
