American Dinnerware Antiques is proud to showcase, in the December 2011 issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine, the creative glass works of Iittala Finland. Iittala glass is a high quality glass; the small red “” mark guarantees the glass is the best in the world! In the Finnish language the word “Sisu” means “Guts” and “Strength”; Iittala Glass exemplifies these qualities with a delicateness and refinement that the Finnish culture is well known for.

Being the grandson of first generation Finns, I grew up with many Finnish/Scandinavian products in my grandmother’s home: Iittala, Arabia, Catherine Holm, Dansk just to name a few. I paid little attention to them as a kid! But little did I know that someday, when I grew up, I would be featuring these same items on my website This section is dedicated to my grandparents. I hope these items will create the same lasting memories for you, as they have for me!
