The bright and colourful seasonal summer mug, Primadonna’s Horse, was launched in the spring of 2012. Designer Tove Slotte chose the pictures of Moomintroll and the Primadonna’s horse from Tove Jansson’s comic strip #9 Moomin Falls in Love. The flowers in the picture are from the comic strip #4 Moomin’s Desert Island. A bowl with the same design was released at the same time. Seasonal stickers have been used in the mugs since 2006.
