The endearing stories by the Swedish children's book author and illustrator Elsa Beskow have been interpreted by Catharina Kippel. Catharina has selected visual quotations from the original illustrations and reworked Elsa's images into patterns. The grand King Winter mug from Design House Stockholm has a lovely motif that is taken from the book Ollie's ski trip where Ollie meets King Winter and other characters when he is trying on his new skis. Combine the fine mug with other pieces from the Elsa Beskow collection.
