Available: March 7th 2023 Hemulen will receive a second mug in the spring of 2023, this time in yellow. The anticipation for a new Hemulen mug has been long, as the previous Hemulen mug was discontinued in 2013. The mug will be part of the ongoing production and the Arabia's Moomin classic mug series. The illustration on this mug features Hemuli on the island of Hattifatteners searching for new and unique plant specimens for his plant collection using a magnifying glass. On the other side of the mug, he is building a campfire with a stick in hand. The Hemulen yellow tableware collection includes a mug, bowl, and plate. The illustrations are based on Tove Jansson's book "Finn Family Moomintroll" from 1948. The background color of the mug is yellow, with lively purple and bright green tones in the details.
