Arabia Moomin seasonal mug issued for summer 2023, hand-signed on the base by its designer, Tove Slotte.
Slotte illustrated and designed more than 100 Arabia Moomin mugs during her long association with the company. She retired in December 2022, making this signed example a particularly appealing piece for a serious Moomin mug collection.
The signature was applied in ink and may be removed by regular washing. It would disappear particularly quickly in a dishwasher. To preserve the signature, this mug should be treated as a display piece rather than used for drinking.
The summer 2023 mugs were issued without boxes. This example was obtained at a signing event, where it was presented with the Arabia Moomin canvas tote bag shown in the photographs. The tote bag is included.
