Mug Under the Tree is the seasonal winter mug of the year 2013. Exceptionally, a bowl in the same design was launched at the same time. The miniature mugs, in sets of four decorative mugs, were also launched simultaneously. In the light and airy design the Moomin family is seen dancing around a Christmas tree. The original illustrations can be found in Tove and Lars Jansson’s comic strip #16 Conscientious Moomin and in Lars Jansson’s comic strip #41 Moomin and Aunt Jane. The images were chosen and adapted by Tove Slotte.
