What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
CANCÚN in orange capitals, with an accent on the U, over a dark green circle in the middle of the front.
- 2Coconut with straws
A green coconut cut open at the top shows blue water inside and has two straws sticking out, at the left of the lettering.
- 3Seabird
A white and pale blue seabird with dark wingtips swoops down above the coconut, with yellow streaks behind it.
- 4Hibiscus
A big hibiscus flower with orange, yellow and blue petals and a dotted centre sits above the lettering, with green and dark navy leaves around it.
- 5Boat
A small orange and yellow boat with passengers on deck floats at the upper right of the front.
- 6Beach bag and sunscreen
A green tote bag with a pair of sunglasses hanging from it, a bottle of sunscreen and two pale blue flip-flops sit at the right of the lettering, next to the handle.
- 7Beach with umbrellas
A strip of yellow-green beach under the circle has tiny people, striped umbrellas and spiky plants, with the sea behind it and a small orange sun rising or setting at the middle.
- 8Parasailer Side view
A person hangs below a striped parachute in black, white, teal and orange, with the lines trailing to the left.
- 9Carved-style head Side view
A head in profile with a feathered headdress, a green face and a collar of dark squares looks right, drawn in a carved-stone style. The mug doesn't name it.
- 10Volleyball game Side view
Three players in swimwear jump and reach for a ball above a net, on a patch of green sand.
- 11Tall orange drink Side view
A tall orange glass dotted with white, with a lime slice on the rim, stands at the left of the side above a pale coral reef.
- 12Shop with a palm tree Side view
A navy and teal beach shop with orange awnings and a customer at the door stands beside a tall palm, with more small shops to its right.
- 13Coconut and bird Side view
A second cut coconut with a straw sits at the right edge of the side, with the tail of the seabird above it.
- 14Scuba diver Back view
A diver in flippers and a green and orange wetsuit, with a tank on the back, swims among green seaweed ribbons at the upper left of the back.
- 15Island with buildings Back view
A small green island with white buildings, trees and an orange road or causeway runs out into pale blue water, with small boats near it and a fish at the tip.
- 16Groups of figures Back view
Two small blue-tinted groups of standing figures stand on an orange patch of ground at the left of the back.
- 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 groups of figures on the back are small enough that their details are not clear.
Collector notes
- The inside of the mug is a bright sky blue, visible in all three photos, which helps tell it apart from Cancún mugs in other series.
- The coconut with straws appears at the left of the front photo and again at the right edge of the side photo, and the tall orange drink appears on the side and on the back, so the scenes wrap round the whole mug.
- Our checklists also list a Been There mug and two Icon mugs for Cancún, so confirm the series name and the blue inside before buying a Discovery Series one.
