What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
SAN FRANCISCO in small red capitals in a plain typeface across the upper front.
- 2Bridge towers
Two tall red towers joined by crossbars stand in the centre of the front, with their lower halves hidden by the clouds.
- 3Bridge cables
Thin dark red cables curve down from the tops of the towers toward the left and right edges.
- 4Clouds
Layers of grey and white scalloped clouds sit around the base of the towers and run to the right.
- 5Skyscraper
A tall pale blue pointed tower rises at the right of the front, near the handle.
- 6Sailboat
A small blue sailboat sits on the water at the lower right of the front.
- 7Waves
Overlapping bands of light and mid blue waves run around the base of the mug.
- 8Gulls
Small teal gulls fly at the upper left of the front, with another pair near the right edge.
- 9Gulls and clouds Side view
A flock of teal gulls flies above a grey and white cloud at the centre of this side, with the red cables of the bridge at the right edge.
- 10Start of the lettering Side view
The letters SAN of the place name show at the right edge of this side.
- 11STARBUCKS wordmark Back view
The STARBUCKS wordmark runs vertically in black capitals beside the handle, with the registered mark above it.
- 12Gulls and waves Back view
Two teal gulls fly above the blue wave band at the right of the back, and the rest of the back is plain white.
The three photos cover the front, the left side and the back. The inside of the mug and the underside are not visible, so the inside colour is not stated.
Collector notes
- The place name appears only on the front, in red capitals above the bridge. The side photo shows the start of the lettering at the right edge, and the back carries only the black STARBUCKS wordmark beside the handle, so a photo from the back or side shows no city name.
- Our checklist also lists San Francisco in the Discovery, Been There, Been There Christmas, Icon and Relief series. This one is the You Are Here Series version: flat colour blocks with plain red lettering, with no scene-by-scene illustration of the city.
- The sides and back are mostly blank white with a few teal gulls and the blue wave band around the base, so most of the artwork is on the front face.
