Description • Official Moomin Characters licensee • Each product is individually inspected Moomin Plate Sniff On the Beach replaces the previous Sniff Moomin plate that discontinued already back in 2006. The new Sniff On the Beach plate is a second plate in the Moomin by Arabia Classics Collection that features Sniff as the main character. The plate is also known as Moomin plate Sniff blue. The illustration on the Moomin plate Sniff On the Beach is based on Tove Jansson’s first Moomin comic Moomin and the Brigands (1954-55). In the comic, numerous friends and relatives arrive at the Moominhouse. The rising number of guests leaves Moomintroll without a place to sleep. Sniff decides to help his friend to build a new, own house to sleep in. To finance this housing project Sniff invents an elixir of youth and starts to sell it around Moominvalley. The elixir turns out to be a magic potion that turns everything into their opposite. The illustration on the plate shows Sniff offering this potion to a turtle that turns into a bullet train. Next to Sniff is Shadow, a helpful little creature who follows Moomintroll and Sniff nearly everywhere. The Sniff On the Beach dish is the last Arabia Classics Collection together with the Muskrat-collection illustrated by Tove Slotte, who retired in 2022. The Sniff On the Beach set includes a mug, a bowl and a plate. You can find more Sniff collectibles by clicking here.
