Mug Friendship was launched in June 2018, and it is still in production. The original images are from Tove Jansson’s novel Who will comfort Toffle? The mug pictures Toffle and Miffle coming across each other on a moonlit meadow. A series of Friendship-themed products was launched before the mug. The series consists of a jar with a lid, a plate, a serving dish, and a jug.
