In 2008, Iittala has expanded the highly unique Taika collection by adding a 6.75-ounce coffee cup in blue 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 coffee cup that has a matching saucer as well as other complimentary pieces in this collection, has a fantasy 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.
