Ancestor Moomin mug has been in production since 2016.

On the front, the Ancestor poses with an oil lamp; on the other side he is hanging, like an artist, from the Fillyjonk painting. This mug isn’t just a drinking vessel—it also tells a story from Moomin history. On the base, in addition to the “by Arabia” stamp, you’ll find the English name “Ancestor” (except on MOOMIN 75 mugs).

Step into the magical world of the Moomins and let the Ancestor brighten your day—with an oil lamp if needed! A perfect gift for anyone who appreciates a touch of mystery and the deeper lore of Moominvalley.

Have you ever wondered who that mysterious, furry creature hiding in the Moominhouse is? Ta-da—here he is: the Ancestor! This tiny furball isn’t just a regular of the house’s tiled stove; he steps straight out of Tove Jansson’s classic Moominland Midwinter. And guess what—in 2016 this enigmatic character finally got his very own mug!

This moomin mug has also been checked by Finmug

Separately, in good lighting. Our moomin mugs come from private individuals as well as directly from the factory. Each moomin mug is checked before it is sold here in our online shop. We check the moomin mug to see what kind of base stamp and sticker it has and what condition the mug is in. We also do a condition check on mugs with label, because often Arabia's 1-quality products have aesthetic factory defects. Finmug is the only online shop where mugs are also checked for factory defects. Just for you.
