An Overview of Iittalas Mariskooli (Maribowl) Series
Iittala launched the Mariskooli (Maribowl) in 1965. The footed bowls first came in one size (height 15,5 cm / 6.1 in) and five colors. They were made of pressed glass with a wavy top border, ribbed relief, and kindhearted expression. When the founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, used them at her famous garden parties, they instantly became a huge success.
Over the years, Iittala introduced many new Mariskooli colors. And a smaller version of the bowl (height 12 cm / 4.7 in) were also produced in 2008–2014.
In the first 15 years, the Mariskooli bowls didn't come with any mark. Between 1980 and 2003, they were marked with a white Marimekko sticker. From 2004, the text "Marimekko" were indented by the mould.
This overview shows you the official selection of Mariskooli colors from the Iittala stores. (A large number of other colors due to special orders are also avaliable.) Each bowl is presented with Finnish name, English name, and production years. Which Mariskooli is your favorite?
