What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
SAN ANTONIO in pale seafoam capitals, stacked on two lines over a dark green circle in the middle of the front.
- 2Yellow sun
A large yellow sun with long pointed rays sits at the upper left of the green circle.
- 3Two jets
Two jets fly in formation above the lettering, one above the other, trailing thin lines, with white stars on their tails.
- 4Guitar
A yellow guitar with a long neck leans to the right of the lettering, with black music notes floating beside it.
- 5Trumpet and accordion
A yellow trumpet sits above a cream-and-blue accordion at the right edge of the front, next to the handle.
- 6Sandstone building
A large yellow-brown building with two pointed towers, rows of arched windows and a fountain in front stands at the lower left of the front. The mug doesn't name it.
- 7Daisy-like flowers
A yellow flower with a dark centre, a white daisy and blue-green leafy spikes grow at the foot of the lettering.
- 8Riverside walk
A pale blue river curves past a bank lined with tall green trees and yellow buildings, with tiny dark figures walking along it, at the lower right of the front.
- 9Dancer Side view
A woman in a flower crown and a black dress with yellow trim and a wide, layered skirt dances with her arms out, at the centre of the side.
- 10Tower on a hill Side view
A tall pale-yellow tower with a clock face stands on a grassy hill under blue-green clouds, with two tiny figures at its foot.
- 11Tacos Side view
Two folded yellow tacos sit on the grass below the tower, with a lime wedge and a small cup beside them.
- 12HEMISFAIR PARK arch Side view
A curved arch carries the words HEMISFAIR PARK between two lattice towers, with yellow trees and a green hedge below it.
- 13Tall skyscraper Back view
A tall yellow building with a flag on top stands at the left of the back, above a green riverbank with a person running.
- 14Smoker grill Back view
A blue barrel-shaped grill with a chimney pipe and swirling smoke stands at the top centre of the back. The mug doesn't label it.
- 15Yellow peppers Back view
Two yellow peppers with green stems lie to the left of the grill.
- 16Cave Back view
A blue-green rock cave hung with yellow drips has three small dark figures inside it, one pointing upward. The mug doesn't name it.
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, so the Starbucks name is not shown, and each photo cuts off a little of the drawing at its edges. The bottom of the mug is not shown.
Collector notes
- The inside of this mug is teal, which shows in all three photos. The grey backdrop in the photos is not part of the mug.
- The sun, jets, instruments and sandstone building are on the front. The dancer, a tower on a hill, tacos and an arch lettered HEMISFAIR PARK are on the side, and a tall skyscraper, a smoker grill, yellow peppers and a cave are on the back, so a listing photographed only from the front shows none of them.
- The arch lettering HEMISFAIR PARK is the one place the mug names a landmark, so it is the easiest thing to check on a back or side photo. The rest of the scenes, including the tower and the sandstone building, are not labelled.
