Green Constable Moomin mug was in production 2009–2020. It’s the only 3 dl mug depicting the Constable, yet its value isn’t very high—likely because the character is less popular than many other residents of Moominvalley. A matching bowl existed, but it left production in 2015, probably due to low demand.
The mug was made with two different labels, and the rarer versions with the “MOOMIN 75” gold backstamp are collector favourites. Because of the light colour, tiny factory flaws (like black dots) show clearly, so Finmug inspects these especially carefully and only some reach Supergood condition.

The mug’s artwork is based on Tove and Lars Jansson’s Moomin comics #16 “Moomin and the Sense of Duty” and #21 “Muddler’s Courtship.” As a member of the Hemulen family, the Constable is shown tending flowers on the mug—quite natural for hemulens, who are known to love gardening. Although the Constable isn’t the best-known character in Moominvalley, he’s an important part of the community, maintaining order with calm authority.

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.
