The name of this pattern means "Pike" in Finnish, and the Marimekko Hauki White/Plum/Red Mug depicts these fish that frequent Finnish waters even during the cold, harsh winters. Warm up by sipping hot chocolate, coffee or tea from this white porcelain mug, which is also conveniently dishwasher safe. Designer Sanna Annukka was inspired by tall tales she would hear during her childhood swims, warning children to stay close to shore to avoid having their toes look like lunch for hungry pike. Here, whimsically decorated with red spots for scales on a sleek, plum-colored body, these fish look anything but ferocious. Tell your own family's fish tales over warm beverages this season with the Marimekko Hauki White/Plum/Red Mug.
Care: Microwave, oven, dishwasher and freezer safe
Holds 8-1/2 fl oz. or (2.5 dl)

The physical mug is the usual (ideal) Marimekko mug. The fish? They're friendly; and they never add ick to my coffee's aroma.
Pros
The fish are slim. They inspire me.
Cons
The fish are slim. They depress me.

This mug has an edge, northern pike are like the barracudas of lakes. But the colors are so vibrant, and I'm finding it a fun, assertive way to start my day. It's an 8 oz. mug so I'm cutting down on how much mornin' Joe I'm consuming too. This should become a Marimekko classic!
Pros
Beauty, color, size
Cons
size, too small for my lattes
