What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
ENSENADA in lime-green capitals across the lower middle of a dark green circle.
- 2Whale
A blue whale with white speckles and a water spout swims at the upper left.
- 3Orange anchor
A large orange anchor with a blue and gold chain looping down toward the lettering hangs at the upper left of the circle.
- 4Kayaker
A woman in a white cap and an orange life jacket paddles an orange kayak on blue waves at the lower left, holding a long black paddle.
- 5Taco
A large taco with a blue, dotted shell is filled with green, red and white pieces at the top of the circle.
- 6Watermelon slice
A slice of watermelon with blue dots and a green rind sits under the taco.
- 7Lobster
An orange lobster with raised claws climbs a pointed blue shape at the upper right. The mug doesn't say what the blue shape is; spiny lobster is one of the fisheries Ensenada is known for [1].[1]
- 8Barrel
A wooden barrel with orange hoops hangs at the right edge, beside the handle.
- 9Vineyard
Rows of green vines run across an orange hillside at the lower right. Ensenada sits beside the Valle de Guadalupe, a major wine tourism area [1].[1]
- 10Produce stall Side view
A vendor in a yellow apron stands behind a sloping stall piled with oranges, green fruit, a cut watermelon and striped melons.
- 11Shopper with bags Side view
A man in an orange cap, a green shirt and black trousers carries two pale blue bags of produce, with orange, yellow and green confetti falling around him.
- 12Giant cocktail Side view
A tall goblet of orange drink with a spice-crusted rim, a blue straw and a watermelon slice stands on the right of the side. The mug doesn't name the drink.
- 13Orange pickup Side view
An orange pickup truck with a dark roof and blue wheels drives across the lower left of the side.
- 14Snowy mountains and pines Side view
Blue snow-capped mountains rise above a band of dark pine trees and a dark rock at the bottom of the side.
- 15Grapevine tree Side view
A tree with a twisting orange trunk, green leaves and purple grape bunches stands at the upper left of the side.
- 16Cruise ship Back view
A large cruise ship with striped decks, a row of white windows and an orange funnel sails across blue water, with a yellow sun behind it. Ensenada's port is a common stop for cruise ships [1].[1]
- 17Starbucks name Back view
STARBUCKS is printed vertically in dark capitals beside the handle.
None of the three photos shows the inside of the mug or the bottom. The strip directly behind the handle is also hidden, and the drawing wraps out of frame at the right edge of the side photo.
Collector notes
- The mug is photographed against a plain grey background with no box or label in frame, so what you see is all mug. The inside of the mug is not visible in any photo, so we can't say what colour it is.
- The kayaker, whale, anchor, taco and lobster are on the front. The produce stall, shopper, giant cocktail and orange pickup are on the side, and the cruise ship runs round the back, so a listing photographed only from the front will miss the ship and the stall.
- The same orange pickup and the grapevine tree appear on both the side and the back of this mug, split by the curve of the body. Ensenada also appears in our Been There and Icon checklists, so match the series name in a listing's title and look for ENSENADA in lime-green capitals on a dark green circle.
