What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
CHIHUAHUA in lime-green capitals over a dark green circle in the middle of the front.
- 2Cheese wheel and wedge
A round yellow cheese with a red cut face and a separate orange wedge sit above the lettering, at the top of the green circle.
- 3Red apple
A red apple with a purple leaf sits at the left of the lettering.
- 4Passenger train
A passenger train with maroon, orange and green carriages and a boxy locomotive runs left to right along the base of the green circle. The mug doesn't name it; the line between Chihuahua City and Los Mochis that crosses the Copper Canyon region is known as El Chepe [1].[1]
- 5Canyon wall with waterfall
A cliff of red, orange and yellow rock with purple scrub rises at the upper right, with a pale pink waterfall falling down its face. The mug doesn't name it.
- 6Painted pot
A round pot painted with green, yellow and red zigzags stands at the lower right beside the handle.
- 7Spiky plants
Two purple-red fan-shaped plants on tall trunks grow at the lower left, in front of a patch of red flowers.
- 8Walking man Side view
A man with a red headband, a pink shirt with a green neckerchief, green shorts and sandals walks left to right across the side.
- 9Ferris wheel Side view
A ferris wheel with red, yellow and green cabins turns behind the walking man, on a wooden A-frame.
- 10Swing ride Side view
A tall funfair swing ride with a striped yellow-and-red canopy and hanging chairs stands at the left of the ferris wheel, above a small striped tent.
- 11Red embroidered jacket Side view
A red jacket with gold embroidery on the cuffs and front lies at the lower left of the side.
- 12Decorated flask Side view
A round green-and-yellow flask with a shell-shaped label stands at the right, with a small brown cap and orange sparks above it.
- 13Rock towers and pink cloud Back view
Tall yellow and orange rock towers with purple bushes sit under a pink cloud with small birds, at the left of the back.
- 14Red flower on a stem Back view
A large round red-orange flower with a yellow centre sits on a green stem with two leaves at the centre of the back.
- 15Cut burritos Back view
Two wrapped rolls, one yellow and one orange, are cut in half to show a dark red filling with pink pieces. They look like burritos, though the mug doesn't label them.
- 16Starbucks name Back view
STARBUCKS is printed vertically in dark capitals just beside the handle.
The photos cover the front, one side and the back, but the strip directly behind the handle is out of view and the drawing wraps out of frame at the edges of each photo. The bottom of the mug is not shown.
Collector notes
- The inside of this mug is bright orange, which shows clearly in the side photo. The lettering is a light green, not the dark green of the circle behind it, so check both when you compare listings.
- The cheese, apple, train and canyon are on the front. The ferris wheel, swing ride, walking man and red jacket are on the side, and the cut burritos and rock towers run onto the back, so a listing photographed only from the front hides most of the drawing.
- The mug names only the city. It does not label the train, the canyon or the people. Chihuahua also appears in our Been There and Icon checklists, so match the series name in a listing's title and look for the green circle behind the lettering.
