Taika (Magic) series was produced with two different patterns, but with the same colors.
The more wanted and valuable pattern by Inkeri Leivo bases on blueberry theme (or magic eyes in darkness) and the cups were made according to model M. Arabia produced these cups in 1976-1979. M-model was designed by Anja Jaatinen-Winquist in the end of the sixties.
Another simple stripe pattern was designed also by Inkeri Leivo, but the cups were made according to S-model, which was designed by Ulla Procope in 1960.
Arabia produced those cups in the 1980s.

I have ten cups and ten saucers. I made two sets of them including 5+5 pieces. The sets are about in the same condition.
The cups are in almost excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or scratches deals. Only the stamps are a little worn.
The saucers are in excellent vintage condition. So, they are used, and marks od usage can be noticed at least on the second sight. The glazing is a little worn from every saucer´s middle area (the second last picture). Slight and tiny scratches may be seen on the middle circus. Those are typical marks from washing in machine. No chips, cracks, or large scratches although.
Cheap price because of worn saucers.
The price is for a set of 5+5.
