Snufkin’s mug was released in 2002 and it was kept in production until 2014. Tove Slotte chose the images from Tove Jansson’s original comics #2 Moomin and Family Life and #16 Conscientious Moomin as well as from the book Who will comfort Toffle? In the blue mug Snufkin is pictured playing his flute and fishing. The image of Snufkin playing the flute is a combination of two images, adapted by Tove Slotte.
