Tanssi saucer

This lovely little Tanssi saucer from Iittala is designed by Klaus Haapaniemi. The saucer is made of porcelain and has a charming pattern with a mythological story inspired by the visual designs that Klaus Haapaniemi created for the Finnish National Opera production of The Cunning Little Vixen. The Czech opera tells a sad, yet beautiful story about the coexistence of animals and humans. The colorful inhabitants of the mystical forest is a deer charming the forest with the sounds from his flute, a badger showing off in his fur coat and silk shoes, and the vixen and a fox dancing in the shadows of the trees. With a nod to Art Deco, Tanssi also pays homage to the era of the birth of the opera. Match the saucer with a cup and other fine pieces from the Tanssi collection for a nice look!
