What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
RHODE ISLAND in yellow capitals, stacked on two lines over a dark green circle in the middle of the front.
- 2Blue flowers
A spray of dark blue flowers with yellow centres and green leaves spills over the top of the green circle.
- 3Suspension bridge
A bridge with yellow and dark blue cables hanging from tall towers curves across the left of the front, with cars on the deck and stripes of yellow and teal piers below. The mug doesn't name it.
- 4Plate of rings
A blue plate piled with golden ring shapes sits above the bridge, with a lemon wedge beside it. It looks like fried calamari, though the mug doesn't label it.
- 5Person on steps
A person in a wide-brimmed straw hat and a white dress with blue spots walks up a flight of yellow steps to the right of the lettering.
- 6Dark cliff
A tall mass of dark green and black rock with white streaks, which look like gulls or waves, stands at the upper right next to the handle.
- 7Golden fried pieces
A pile of golden-brown pieces dusted with white and small stars rests on a blue-green lattice at the lower right of the front. It looks like fried dough, though the mug doesn't label it.
- 8Domed building Side view
A long yellow and blue building with a large central dome stands at the left of the side, with a maple leaf above it.
- 9Tall ship Side view
A three-masted sailing ship with golden sails and a blue hull sits on the water at the lower left of the side.
- 10Tennis player Side view
A blue-skinned player in a black top and blue patterned shorts leaps with a racket raised, his other hand tossing a ball.
- 11Clusters over the racket Side view
Three round clusters of dark blue dots with orange outlines hover above the racket, next to an orange slice. The mug doesn't say what they are.
- 12Rooster on a stone gate Back view
A large rooster in green, blue and orange stands on a dark stone gate with three arched openings, at the centre of the back.
- 13Lighthouse Back view
A blue lighthouse with a pale beam of light stands on a rocky point at the left of the back, next to the handle.
- 14Bay with sailboat Back view
A blue bay circled by green land with small yellow houses, a few boats and a white sailboat fills the middle of the back.
- 15Arch with pineapple Back view
A blue arch spans the bay at the top, with a small pineapple hanging from its centre.
- 16Starbucks wordmark Back view
STARBUCKS is printed vertically in small dark capitals beside the handle.
The three photos cover most of the outside of the mug, but not all of it: the strip behind the handle is out of view, and the side photo is taken with the mug in a hand, which hides the bottom edge. Each photo cuts off a little of the drawing at its edges.
Collector notes
- The inside of this mug is teal, which shows in the side and back photos. The teal backdrop in the front and back photos and the hand and room in the side photo are not part of the mug.
- The blue flowers, suspension bridge and fried food are on the front, the domed building, tall ship and tennis player are on the side, and the rooster, lighthouse, bay with sailboat and autumn leaves are on the back. A listing photographed only from the front shows none of the side or back scenes.
- The tennis player with the racket and the three dark blue clusters above it is the quickest way to spot this mug among Discovery listings. Check that the lettering says RHODE ISLAND, since the series has many look-alike mugs with a green circle and white body.
