What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
IDAHO in orange capitals across the upper middle of a dark green circle.
- 2Blue bird
A blue bird with a yellow belly and a red-brown eye stripe perches on the top of the O. The mug doesn't name it; Idaho's state bird is the mountain bluebird [1].[1]
- 3Leaping fish
A dark blue fish with white spots and orange fins arcs upward below the lettering, with water drops falling from its tail.
- 4Crouching man on a board
A man with swept white hair and dark glasses crouches in a navy vest and orange-flowered shorts on a dark board over a swirl of white water, reaching a hand toward the fish.
- 5Waterfall
A wide white waterfall tumbles over a yellow-green cliff at the bottom of the circle, with a small green button-like mark in the water.
- 6Blue flower
A large dark blue flower with a yellow centre and a bud above it grows on a green stem at the right of the circle.
- 7Orange rock face
A tall orange mountain with dark cracks and a yellow slope beside it rises at the upper left, under blue clouds.
- 8Berry branch Side view
A branch with green and yellow leaves carries many round dark blue berries on the left of the side. The mug doesn't name them; the huckleberry is Idaho's state fruit [1].[1]
- 9Axe in a stump Side view
An axe with an orange handle is stuck in a tree stump drawn in blue and green wavy stripes.
- 10Birdwatcher on a bridge Side view
A person in a yellow cap and pale blue top lifts binoculars while standing on a long blue bridge with orange railings.
- 11Orange mountain and boat Side view
A large orange mountain with a white waterfall running down it sits at the upper right, with a small orange boat on the water below.
- 12Green hill with trees Side view
A bright green hillside holds four small trees in yellow, orange, blue and pale blue.
- 13Ski boots Back view
Two big ski boots, one in blue, green and yellow and one in yellow and orange, stand side by side at the centre of the back.
- 14Potatoes Back view
A large orange potato and a yellow potato with dark spots sit above the ski boots. Potato is Idaho's official state vegetable [1].[1]
- 15Basket of wedges Back view
A blue woven basket holds orange and yellow wedge shapes, with a small red dish beside it. They look like potato wedges, though the mug doesn't say.
- 16Faceted gem Back view
A large cut gem with blue, orange, green and yellow facets sits at the lower right of the back. Idaho's state gem is the star garnet [1]; the mug doesn't name this stone.[1]
- 17Bird with long tail Back view
A bird with a green head, a yellow beak and a long orange and blue striped tail flies above the gem, its tail reaching back toward the ski boots. The mug doesn't name it.
- 18Pine tree Back view
A tall green pine tree stands on a blue hill at the left of the back.
None of the three photos shows the inside of the mug or the bottom. The photos are close up and taken at an angle, so the drawing is stretched at the edges, and the strip directly behind the handle is out of view.
Collector notes
- The photos are tight close-ups of the mug standing on a black box, so the print looks wider at the edges than it is. The inside of the mug is not visible in any photo, so we can't say what colour it is.
- The bird, fish, crouching man, waterfall and blue flower are on the front. The axe in a stump, the bridge with a birdwatcher and the orange mountain are on the side, and the ski boots, potatoes and the faceted gem are on the back, so a listing photographed only from the front hides most of the drawing.
- Idaho also has a Been There Series mug, so check the series name in a listing's title and look for the orange IDAHO lettering on a dark green circle with the leaping fish under it.
