The Home mug captures the Moomin way of life

The Moomin stories are turning eighty years, and we are celebrating the anniversary with a truly special collectible treasure. The Home mug and its hand-painted illustration capture the spirit of the Moomin way of life: Everyone is always welcome at Moominhouse, just as they are.

No two Home mugs are alike

The Home mug (€189.90) is a true collector's gem, as it is part of a special limited edition of 8,000 pieces, with each mug being hand-painted and unique. Additionally, each mug features the Moomin 80 anniversary stamp on the bottom, a serial number indicating it's part of a limited edition, and the initials of the artisan who hand-painted the mug.

Inspired by the story where the Moomin family finds their home

The illustration on the mug reflects the deeply emotional story of the very first Moomin tale, The Moomins and the Great Flood, written by Tove Jansson during World War II. Writing this story with its happy ending brought comfort during challenging times.

In the story, Moominpappa has been missing for a long time. A flood covers everything, leaving many creatures homeless and seeking refuge, including Moominmamma and Moomintroll. Along the way, the mutual support shared by fellow travelers brings the Moomin family back together. As the flood clears, the Moomins arrive in a small, blooming valley—the most beautiful place they’ve ever seen. There stands Moominhouse, built by Moominpappa himself for his family but thought to have been lost to the flood. The family has found their home!

In the Moomin stories Tove Jansson wrote later, Moominhouse has welcomed many new family members, visitors, lodgers, and seekers of refuge. The Moomins have always ensured that everyone feels welcome and accepted just as they are. It is a very moominous story.

A beautiful gift box

The mug comes in a gift box, which repeats the Moominhouse illustration.

Numbered edition with Moomin 80 bottom stamp

The mug has a running numbering 1 - 8000, the Moomin 80 anniversary stamp on the bottom and the initials of the artisan who painted the mug.

No two alike

Each mug is individually hand-painted, so every mug is unique.
