The mug Moomintroll on Ice was in production from 1999 to 2012. The manufacturing was discontinued a year earlier than Moominpappa and Moominmamma character mugs. In the pictures we see Moomintroll wondering about the glass-like, frozen pond. On the other side of the mug Moomintroll is pictured from behind. The images were chosen and subtly edited by Tove Slotte from Tove Jansson’s comics #5 Moomin and the Winter Follies and #1 Moomin and the Brigands.
