Iittala (1881–Present)
Iittala and its sister factory, Karhula, have produced glassware in Finland since the 1880s. Iittala made basic household glassware, some decorated by cutting, enameling, or etching. Karhula, which produced mainly bottles and pressed tableware, merged with Iittala in 1917. Iittala still makes glass as part of the Hackman Tabletop group, which includes ceramics firms Arabia and Röstrand-Gustavsberg.
