What's on the mug

1
Electric guitar
An electric guitar angles across the top left, with music notes floating above it.
2
Banjo
A banjo hangs below the guitar, its round body facing the viewer.
3
Red berries
A cluster of red berries and leaves sits above the lettering. Alabama's official state fruit is the blackberry, which may be what the artist drew; the mug doesn't say.^[1]
4
Camellias
Two large red flowers with layered petals and blue-green leaves sit at the lower left. The camellia became Alabama's state flower in 1959.^[1]
5
Red propeller plane
A red propeller plane with white star markings banks across the top right. The Tuskegee Airmen, famous as the Red Tails, trained at Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama, where the National Park Service site displays a P-51D Mustang. The mug doesn't name the aircraft.^[2]
6
Arch bridge
A blue arch with red vertical hangers spans the bottom of the green circle.
7
Waterfall and shrimp
A waterfall tumbles over a cliff at the lower right, with a red shrimp-like creature in the foam and pine trees behind.
8
Lettering
ALABAMA in pale green capitals over a dark green circle; the last letters fade toward the plane.
9
Beach ball Back view
A red, white and blue beach ball hangs in mid-air above a player in red shorts who is reaching up to hit it.
10
Rocket Back view
A slim red-and-white rocket stands upright at the right, its base in a band of blue waves. The mug doesn't say which rocket or where.
11
Palm trees Back view
Palm trees frame the scene: a small one at the far left and a tall dark-green one right of centre.
12
Sandcastle Back view
A figure in a sun hat kneels in the sand beside a red bucket and a sandcastle with dark towers.
13
Striped arc Back view
A striped arc in red and blue tones curves over the waves at the right edge, cut off by the curve of the mug.
14
STARBUCKS wordmark Back view
The STARBUCKS wordmark runs up the side next to the handle, which is how you can tell this is the back of the mug.
15
Football Side view
A red football arcs through the air at the upper left, with blue motion lines behind it.
16
Football helmet Side view
A red football helmet with a dark face mask tips forward above a pale-blue rock formation.
17
Layered rock Side view
A stack of pale blue, layered rock sits under the helmet, with a wide red band curving across its base.
18
Domed brick building Side view
A red-brick building with white columns and a small red dome stands at the lower left.
19
Peanuts Side view
Two blue-grey peanut shells with red kernels lie at the bottom, between the building and the flowers.

The front, side and back photos together cover the whole mug except the area right behind the handle.

Collector notes

Alabama is also listed in the Been There and You Are Here series on our checklists, so check the series in the listing title before you pay.
The seller used a bright teal backdrop, which makes the pale lettering easy to read here but is not part of the mug.
