What's on the mug

1
Huckleberries
A cluster of blue-black berries with orange leaves fills the top left. They look like huckleberries, which the National Park Service says can make up to 15% of the diet of bears in and around Glacier National Park.^[1]
2
Eagle
A teal eagle with orange-tipped feathers dives at the left edge.
3
Lake
A blue lake with white wave crests and small islands sits at the top right, ringed by dark pines with mountains behind.
4
Campfire
A campfire with orange flames and stacked logs burns at the lower right.
5
Seated figure
A teal figure sits by the fire at the right edge, partly hidden behind the handle.
6
Mountains and pines
Snow-capped mountains and dark pine trees run across the bottom.
7
Lettering
MONTANA in orange capitals over a dark green circle.
8
Bear on a gem Back view
A tan bear stands on a blue, many-faceted shape like a cut gemstone. Montana's state mammal is the grizzly bear and its state gemstones are sapphire and agate; the mug doesn't say which the artist meant.^[2]
9
Two dark animals Back view
Two heavy, dark animals graze at the lower left, one facing us and one turned away.
10
Car on a yellow road Back view
A small dark car drives along a yellow road that winds in front of the mountains.
11
Layered mountains Back view
Blue and yellow ridges rise behind the road, layered like paper cut-outs.
12
Violet flowers Back view
Clusters of violet flowers with orange leaves sit in the lower right.

Neither photo shows the strip behind the handle; the front and back cover the rest of the design.

Collector notes

Montana has both a Discovery mug (this page) and a Been There mug, which has its own page on this site. The two are different designs.
The handle covers half of the seated figure. Listing photos taken from the handle side show more of the campfire scene than this one.
