The seasonal summer mug of 2019 is called Evening Swim and it is the second part of a six-piece series started by Going on Vacation in the previous year. The mug pictures the Moomin family jumping into the rose-coloured water as the yellow sun sets in the background. Tove Slotte has made her design based on multiple separate illustrations by Tove Jansson. The original artwork is from Tove Jansson’s comic strip #4 Moomin’s Desert Island. Two spoons and a plate were published with the mug. Seasonal stickers have been used in the mugs since 2006.
