The 2019 seasonal winter mug carries the name Crown snow-load. Designer Tove Slotte wanted to pay attention to Tove Jansson’s remarkable ability to illustrate nature. The inspiration for this design was Tove Jansson’s novel Moominland Midwinter. In addition to the mug, miniature mugs, two spoons and a bowl were launched at the same time. The items were a very limited edition: They were only sold from October 2019 to February 2020. Seasonal stickers have been used in the mugs since 2006.
