A small glass with an amazingly practical size

Muurla deliberately designed the 0.2 l glass to fit well in children's hands. The base contains slightly more material and weight than a very lightweight drinking glass; this makes it more stable and less likely to be knocked over.

Muurla & Pippi Longstocking

Muurla combines Finnish product design with the well-known illustrations from Astrid Lindgren's world of Pippi Longstocking. The motifs are based on the unmistakable drawings by Ingrid Vang Nyman. For me, Pippi at Muurla is not as big a theme as the Moomins – but the right items certainly have their appeal and work very well in the assortment.

My assessment

The small water glasses are the bestsellers in my Pippi selection – even ahead of the enamel mugs. This does not surprise me: 0.2 liters is a likable size, the somewhat heavier base gives the glass stability, and the Pippi motif works just as well for children as it does for adults who have known Pippi since their childhood. The production in Italy also feels right to me for a glass product.
