Arabia’s Moomin plate True to Its Origins is part of a tableware collection inspired by Tove Jansson’s novels Moominpappa at Sea (1965) and Moominvalley in November (1970). The first one tells the story of the Moomin family moving to a far-away lighthouse island, and the latter is the artist’s last Moomin book that she wrote after her mother had passed away. The themes of the books – longing, loneliness and turning points in life – are conveyed in the ceramic teapot, jar, plate, bowl and mug through Jansson’s beautiful, melancholy illustrations.
The sensitive black and white images look timeless beside any of the classic Moomin dishes, because they go with every other colour. The style of the pictures demonstrates Tove Jansson’s exceptional ability in expressing her mood and deepest emotions with simple drawings.
