Iittala factory shop – Bargain glass and tableware

Iittala, one of the best known Finnish design house, has a factory in Iittala, a small town north from Hämeenlinna. And not just the factory, but a host of other services, such as a factory shop.

Iittala factory shop

If you have not visited yet in any Finnish design factory store, consider to do it. You can find world famous glassworks in decent prices. The stores sell also normal tableware and kitchen utensils, so they serve dual purpose.

The shop in Iittala is a middle sized factory shop. They stock all major series in all available colours — and some leftovers from series that are no longer made. The place is not dirt cheap, but you can make real finds with bargains or buying second quality stuff — usually you can find a few items that do not seemingly have any mistakes.
