What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
YOSEMITE in orange capitals across the lower half of a dark green circle in the middle of the front.
- 2Binoculars and bird
A pair of blue binoculars hangs on a looped cord above the lettering, with a small yellow-headed bird perched on top and a blue bird below.
- 3Canvas tents
Two white canvas tents with green doors and orange steps stand in front of blue spruce trees at the upper right of the circle.
- 4Bicycle
A bicycle with a blue frame and orange-red wheels leans at the right edge of the front, above the handle.
- 5Blue bear
A dark blue bear with a tan muzzle walks at the lower left, in front of the tall tree trunks.
- 6Berries
Clusters of orange and blue berries hang from green leaves at the foot of the circle, with a bunch of orange berries beside the bear.
- 7Granite cliff
A big rock face drawn in blue, teal and lime stands at the lower right of the front. The mug doesn't name it.
- 8Compass Side view
A round green compass with a ring at the top hangs at the left of the side.
- 9Leaping trout Side view
A fish with a green back, an orange stripe and dark spots leaps to the right with a flick of spray. It looks like a rainbow trout.
- 10Waterfall and cliffs Side view
A thin white waterfall drops past a blue-grey cliff face, beside a taller cliff with sheer vertical streaks, with a small white fir below.
- 11Climbing gear Side view
A green ice axe, an orange carabiner and a coil of green rope sit in a pile at the centre of the side, with a blue-and-orange climbing shoe at the bottom.
- 12Orange helmet Side view
An orange climbing helmet with yellow vents sits above the tall trees at the right of the side.
- 13Starbucks name Back view
STARBUCKS is printed vertically in dark capitals just beside the handle.
- 14Hiker on a rock Back view
A hiker in a green backpack and a headband walks up a green granite monolith with trekking poles, above a line of dark fir trees.
- 15Hiker with orange trousers Back view
A hiker with long red hair, orange trousers dotted in yellow and a big backpack strides with poles toward the right.
- 16Stone lodge Back view
A building with stone-patterned walls, tall windows and red doors stands under the second hiker, with a few small figures at its foot.
None of the three photos shows the underside of the mug. The small figures at the foot of the lodge on the back are too small to describe.
Collector notes
- The side photo shows the trout, waterfall and climbing gear in full. They are partly hidden on the front, and the hikers and lodge are on the back, so a front-only listing photo shows less than half the design.
- Inside, the mug is a deep blue; all three photos show it. The trees at the right edge of the side photo continue round to the front, where a blue bear stands at their foot.
- The orange YOSEMITE lettering with a blue bear at its left is the quickest way to pick this mug out of a listing; the canvas tents and the leaning bicycle are the next things to look for.
