Description from the seller

Special feature & dating (early production phase approx. 1960–1975):

Each piece is a unique work of Finnish mid-century design.

11x coffee cups
11x saucers
11x cake/dessert plates

Excellent vintage condition. No chips, no cracks, and no glaze damage. Very nice, glossy preserved condition.

Saucer: approx. 12.5–13.0 cm diameter, approx. 1.8 cm high
