Mug Groke is one of the most popular mugs still in production. The mug was released in 2005, and it is the first mug picturing Groke’s character. Groke is known to be a mystical and a little bit frightening character. Therefore the atmosphere in this mug is dark and the dark blue shade has the exciting magic of Groke. Tove Slotte has chosen the images for the mug from Tove Jansson’s novels Moominland Midwinter and Moominpappa at Sea.
