The Opera Little My saucer is part of the limited-edition Opera collection for spring 2025, launching in Japan through Scope starting April 1, 2025. The saucer features a widely grinning Little My, also seen on the back of the Opera mug. Her expressive personality adds a touch of operatic drama and humor to the table setting. The rim is decorated with the same ornate pattern known from the Opera mug. The saucer is part of the Teema series designed by Kaj Franck. The Opera collection includes the mug and two saucers, all available exclusively through Scope’s channels in Japan.

Characters
Little My
Little My lives in the Moomin house and is a part of the Moomin family, even though she is not really related to the Moomins. Mymble older is her mother, Mymble her sister, and Snufkin his half-brother. In spite of her small size, Little My is very courageous, fearless and brave. Little My is known for being quite feisty and having a sharp sense of humour. Little My always makes her own decisions and acts as she sees fit. She doesn’t let any kind of mayhem disturb her, and loves spending time in narrow and unusual places that most can’t even fit into. Little My is also very curious, she loves secrets and is good at keeping them. Little My has an orange bun of hair and a red dress. Little My first appeared in Tove Jansson’s book The Memoirs of Moominpappa.
