Snorkmaiden purple Moomin mug. The designs on the mug have been taken from the Moomin on the Riviera comic strip from 1955. Snorkmaiden and Moominpappa dream of a luxurious life on the Riviera, which results in the whole Moomin family sailing to France. Along the way, they experience several mishaps and misunderstandings.
The attention-seeking Snorkmaiden likes to be the centre of attention and manages to win at the casino thanks to her charm. With the money, she buys a bikini. The design on one side of the mug shows Snorkmaiden trying on a bikini for the first time. On the other side of the mug, we see Snorkmaiden trying to find a suitable spot on her nose to place the lipstick she acquired on the trip. The story depicts how Snorkmaiden combines femininity and vanity with courage and ingenuity.
The Snorkmaiden purple Moomin mug is designed by Tove Slotte based on Tove Jansson’s original illustrations and is part of Moomin Arabia's Moomin Classics collection.
The mugs, bowls, and plates with Moomin designs are popular collector’s items that are often combined with each other and with other Moomin porcelain from Moomin Arabia.
