Starbucks Bolivia mug: Discovery Series
The Bolivia mug from Starbucks' Discovery Series sets the country name in olive-green capitals over a dark green circle, with grapes, a dancer, a reed boat, a llama and a woman in a layered skirt. An ox cart, a hexagon-tiled plain and a spotted cat run round the other sides.

What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
BOLIVIA in olive-green capitals over a dark green circle in the middle of the front.
- 2Grapes
Two bunches of dark purple grapes hang from a leafy vine with curling tendrils above the lettering, at the upper left.
- 3Dancer holding a hat
A dancer in a green jacket with orange trim and a dark feathered pattern on the chest kicks one boot up and holds a wide-brimmed orange hat out to the side.
- 4Reed boat
A boat with a woven, curved hull, a two-level cabin with orange windows and a tall mast with rigging floats in green water among small orange water lilies.
- 5Llama
A rust-orange llama or alpaca stands at the bottom of the green circle, in front of orange hills with green strips of fields.
- 6Woman in a layered skirt
A woman with a long dark braid wears an off-the-shoulder top and a dark purple skirt with yellow-green ruffled tiers, and looks towards the lettering.
- 7Orange hills
Rust and orange hills rise behind the llama, with dark green and olive strips of land running across the bottom of the front.
- 8Tall leaves and flowers
Tall green leaves and a plume of red-orange flowers rise near the handle, next to a dark red feather-shaped leaf.
- 9Stepped doorway
A low green stepped wall with a pale doorway and a small standing figure inside it sits just left of the handle. The mug doesn't name it.
- 10Hillside town Side view
Boxy orange, red and cream houses climb a green mountain slope at the upper left of the side.
- 11Horned mask Side view
A green and orange mask with curling dark horns and red eyes has a small yellow winged figure perched on top, at the lower left of the side.
- 12Ox cart Side view
A pair of brown oxen in a yoke pull a cart with a big green wheel stacked with bundled wood, with a driver in a cap sitting on top.
- 13Hexagon-tiled ground Side view
A pale ground of cracked hexagonal tiles with orange and green edges fills the bottom of the side, with two tiny dark figures standing on it. The mug doesn't name it.
- 14Golden pastries Side view
Three golden half-moon shapes with twisted, rope-like purple edges sit down the left of the side. They look like filled pastries; the mug doesn't name them.
- 15Tree and falling blossoms Back view
A tree with a dark red-brown canopy and a green trunk stands at the left of the back, with small orange blossoms drifting down to its left.
- 16Spotted cat Back view
A big cat with an orange coat and dark spots lies on the ground under the tree with its long striped tail stretched out behind it.
- 17Starbucks name Back view
STARBUCKS is printed vertically in dark capitals just beside the handle.
None of the three photos shows the bottom of the mug. The strip directly behind the handle is hidden, and the left edge of the front is cut off by the angle.
Collector notes
- The inside of the mug is a bright lime green, visible in all three photos. The mug is photographed in front of a dark green Discovery Series box whose lid repeats the series name on three lines; the box is not part of the mug.
- The dancer holding the hat appears at the left of the front photo and again at the right of the side photo, so the scenes wrap round the whole mug. The golden pastries on the side continue onto the back.
- Our checklists also list Been There and Icon mugs for Bolivia, so confirm the series name before buying a Discovery Series one.
