What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
ST LOUIS in gold capitals over a dark green circle in the middle of the front.
- 2Riverboat
A white and pink paddle steamer with two black smokestacks and rows of small windows sits across the top of the green circle, with white waves under its bow.
- 3Blue arch
A tall, narrow blue arch curves up from the lower left of the lettering. The mug doesn't name it.
- 4Domed building
A pale dome on a drum with tall windows rises behind the arch, above a row of yellow and orange buildings at the lower left.
- 5Blue dome with yellow dots
A blue dome covered in yellow and orange dots sits above a pond with blue and red lily pads at the right of the front. The mug doesn't name it.
- 6Cattails
Orange cattail-like reeds stand at the right edge of the pond.
- 7Red slab
A red-orange block with a streaky pattern tilts at the right of the riverboat. The mug doesn't label it.
- 8Tower with orange dome Side view
A tall tower with a yellow base, a blue shaft with arched windows, an orange striped dome and a thin spire stands at the left of the side.
- 9Slice of cake Side view
A yellow slab topped with white crumbs or sugar sits at the upper left of the side. It looks like a slice of cake, though the mug doesn't label it.
- 10Horses with a rider Side view
A red-brown horse and a yellow horse trot to the left with a rider in red, in front of a row of orange and yellow buildings.
- 11Stepped white tower Side view
A pale blue and white building with stepped setbacks and a yellow base stands between clusters of orange autumn trees.
- 12Red bowl and gold squares Side view
A round red dish with a yellow rim sits among scattered gold squares. It looks like fried squares with a red dipping sauce, though the mug doesn't label them.
- 13Starbucks name Back view
STARBUCKS is printed vertically in dark capitals just beside the handle.
- 14Striped pavilion Back view
A red and white striped dome on a small open pavilion stands to the left of the wagon.
- 15Peanuts and a slice with spread Back view
Two orange peanuts float above a blue-edged slice topped with an orange swirl, which looks like bread with a spread.
- 16Horse-drawn wagon Back view
A red wagon with blue wheels and a green circle on its side carries a driver in blue, pulled by a team of yellow and red horses. A row of orange, pink and yellow buildings stands behind.
The photos are small and soft, so tiny lettering on the buildings is unreadable. None of the three shows the underside of the mug.
Collector notes
- The photos we have are small, so the print looks soft. What shows is a dark green circle with ST LOUIS in gold, a paddle steamer above it and a blue arch beside it; the wagon, horses and peanuts are on the back, which a front-only listing photo hides.
- The photos show a blue inside. The mug stands on a dark green box printed STARBUCKS DISCOVERY SERIES in all three; the box is not part of the mug.
- Check the gold lettering and the paddle steamer if a listing is vague. A Been There or You Are Here St. Louis mug is a different design, so read the series name on the box or the base.
