Moomin Arabia Moomin mug, Moominpappa, grey

The Moominpappa mug from Arabia’s Moomin collection features an illustration of Moomintroll’s father preparing the Moomin House for the upcoming winter. In addition to ensuring a sufficient supply of firewood, he’s boarding the windows to keep heat loss at a minimum. The gray-toned mug was released in 2023, and its illustrations are based on Tove Jansson’s comic Moomin winter from 1959.

The mugs, bowls and plates of Arabia’s Moomin Classics tableware collection illustrate the characters of the Moominvalley from the front and behind. The first pieces of Arabia’s Moomin tableware came out already in the 1950s, and large-scale production began in 1990. All the illustrations are done by Tove Slotte who draws inspiration from the original drawings by Tove Jansson. The form of the collection comes from Arabia’s timeless, ceramic Teema tableware designed by Kaj Franck.
