The Ancestor Moomin mug from Arabia was designed by Tove Slotte-Elevant. The ancestor figure is a character in Tove Jansson's Moomin valley tales and is the ancestor to all Moomin trolls. He doesn't speak in the Moomin tales and lives behind the stove in the Moomin house but is an impressive 100 years old. He may not be the most famous of Moomin characters, but definitely one that belongs in every Moomin collector's collection.
