The second summer mug was called Dolphin Dive, and it was released in 2007. The mug was designed by Tove Slotte and the images are originally from Tove Jansson’s comic #4 Moomin’s Desert Island. The blue and green colours are quite similar to the 2006 summer mug. In the mug Moomins are seen playing in the water with dolphins. The seasonal stickers have been used in the summer and winter mugs since 2006.
