What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
SASKATCHEWAN in red capitals across a dark green circle in the middle of the front.
- 2Red owl
A small red owl with a blue-green wing speckled in pink perches on thin striped legs at the upper left of the front.
- 3Spruce trees
Four spruce trees in pale teal and dark green stand inside the top of the green circle, behind the lettering.
- 4Aurora ribbons
Wavy ribbons of yellow and pink, with small stars, stretch across the upper right of the front like northern lights. The mug doesn't label them.
- 5Watermelon slices
Two slices of watermelon with dark seeds and a patterned green rind, one with water drops flying off, sit at the foot of the green circle.
- 6Red bridge
A long red bridge with white and black arches curves across the lower left of the front. The mug doesn't name it.
- 7Kayaker under the bridge
A small paddler in a red kayak passes under the arches of the bridge.
- 8Fish and canoe
A fish with a red and yellow body leaps out of the water on a fishing line, next to a red canoe, at the lower right of the front.
- 9Honey dipper and bowl Side view
A long wooden honey dipper with honey dripping from its end rests beside a red bowl of honey at the upper left of the side.
- 10Yellow flowers Side view
Three large flowers with long, narrow yellow petals and red centres grow from thick dark stems at the centre of the side.
- 11Bees Side view
Two small striped bees fly among the flowers, one at the upper right and one nearer the centre.
- 12Prickly pear cactus Side view
A cactus with flat green pads and red tips stands at the lower left of the side, below a red outlined symbol with a small yellow sun beside it.
- 13Bison Back view
A large bison in red, teal and pink with white horns walks toward the right at the centre of the back, with a small bird perched on its hump.
- 14Hiker and red hill Back view
A person in a yellow top and shorts stands on a winding black and yellow path in front of a hill with layered red stripes, at the upper left of the back.
- 15Basket of bread Back view
A red woven basket holds pale loaves, with golden stalks of grain rising beside it.
- 16Sun symbol and cactus Back view
A small yellow sun and a red outlined figure in the shape of a lizard or turtle sit above yellow and black ground shapes, next to a second cactus.
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 the first letter of the lettering curls round the left edge in the front photo. The bottom of the mug is not shown.
Collector notes
- The inside of this mug is bright red, which shows in all three photos. The wood table and the wall behind it are part of the photos, not the mug.
- The owl, aurora, watermelon and bridge are on the front. A honey dipper, a bowl and large yellow flowers with two bees are on the side, and a bison, a hiker, a red hill and a basket of bread are on the back, so a listing photographed only from the front shows none of them.
- The word SASKATCHEWAN runs almost to the edge of the drawing, so in a photo taken a little off to one side the first or last letter can be cut off. The bison with a small bird on its hump is the quickest way to confirm this mug from the back.
