This marmalade-colored Moominmamma cup is designed by Arabia's illustrator-ceramicist Tove Slotte. The design is based on Tove and Lars Jansson’s comics Moomin Winter (1959) and Moominmamma's Maid (1956). In the illustration of the bowl, Moominmamma is tending to her vegetable patch with Misabel, her maid. Moominmamma is no stranger to life’s small pleasures, such as taking a break for herself and enjoying a nice cup of coffee, as can be seen on the reverse of the bowl. Complete your Moomin tableware collection with this lovely piece.

Moomin Classics series features each character of the Moominvalley emphasizing each one’s own typical traits. The artwork present the characters from the front and behind and tells the story of that specific character. Arabia’s Moomins are turned from stories to ceramic illustrations by designer Tove Slotte. She has been drawing Moomins onto Arabia items since the beginning of the 1990s. The designer draws inspiration from Tove Jansson’s original illustrations, which she adapts to ceramic shapes. The Moomins have always been close to Tove Slotte’s heart. She articulated the significance of the Moomins nicely when she said: I think everyone should enjoy a little dose of Moomin philosophy every day.
