What is the design of the mug like?

The illustration on the Moomin’s Day mug originates from Tove Jansson’s book Moominland Midwinter from 1957 and the book of songs, Visor från Mumindalen from 1993. 

The hand-drawn illustration portrays an atmospheric spring day and the evening sun. It is the first day of spring and the river flowing through Moominvalley is free of ice. Moomintroll and Moominmamma are sitting on the railing of the bridge, waiting for Snufkin, who returns from his long travels after winter. You can read more about the illustration here!
