Prisrekord for Mummi-kopp
En «mangeårig samler fra Norden» sikret seg «Dykking med skjell».
For the first time in history, a Mummi figurine, titled "Dykking med skjell" and released in 2006, was recently sold for a record-breaking price of 46,023 euros, equivalent to approximately 497,000 Norwegian krone. This price is nearly double the previous record, which was around 23,000 euros. The buyer was described as an "avid collector from the North" by Yle, Finland's largest Swedish-language newspaper.
The previous record sale had occurred five years prior, and interest among collectors had been steadily growing during this time. Rasmus Rantanen, the managing director of the online store Muumimukit rahaksi, which specializes in Mummi collectibles, anticipated the heightened interest in the figurine. Five different bidders submitted offers exceeding 40,000 euros for the piece.
Only ten copies of the figurine were ever produced, given to select employees of Arabia factory, with the shell pattern being dropped before the final version was made available for sale.
