The red character mug presents Moominmamma. The mug was in production from 1999 to 2013. Moominmamma is pictured from both sides - front and back, a typical arrangement for the character mugs. The other image is from Tove Jansson’s book Moominland Midwinter, and the image presenting Moominmamma with berries is from a die-cut paper scrap sheet designed by Tove Jansson in the 1970s.
