Description:

A charming and rare vintage Heidi, Girl of the Alps (アルプスの少女ハイジ) “Memory Mug” from Japan, dating to the late 1990s.

This nostalgic collectible was originally produced as an official Japanese arcade/amusement prize (非売品 / Hibaihin) and was not intended for regular retail sale, making it a lovely find for collectors of vintage Japanese anime memorabilia.

The ceramic mug features a beautiful watercolor and pencil-sketch-style illustration of Heidi surrounded by the iconic Swiss Alpine scenery. It comes complete with its original light-blue presentation box, decorated with classic illustrations of Heidi, Peter, and Joseph the St. Bernard.
