Mug Mymble’s Mother was launched in 2012 and it is still in production. The mother of Snufkin, Mymble and Little My is also known as Mymble older. Mymble older is the easygoing and rather round mother of 37 children. In the turquoise mug Mymble’s mother is pictured happy and smiling, with a few of her children. The rest of the children also appear in the book The Memoirs of Moominpappa. Designer Tove Slotte chose the original images from Tove Jansson’s comic strip #7 Moomin Builds a House.
