Discovery Series Ornament – Maui
Discovery Series Ornament Maui is a mini mug for one of Hawaii’s most beloved islands, known for its dramatic landscapes, rich Hawaiian heritage, and relaxed island rhythm. Once ruled by powerful Hawaiian chiefs, the island later became an important center for agriculture before evolving into a world-renowned travel destination. Despite its popularity, Maui has retained a strong connection to nature, local traditions, and ocean life. The island continues to balance natural beauty with everyday island culture.
The design of this ornament reflects Maui through a collection of symbols and scenes that capture its tropical character.

Hibiscus flowers are commonly seen in gardens, along roadsides, and woven into leis. In the design, they highlight the island’s vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.
– Maui waterfalls showcase the island’s lush and dramatic landscapes. Some of the most popular waterfalls along the Road to Hana include Waimoku Falls, Twin Falls, and Upper Waikani Falls. These cascading falls are surrounded by dense greenery and volcanic terrain. They represent the raw natural beauty and freshwater abundance of Maui.

– Marine life highlights Maui’s strong connection to the ocean. The waters around the island are home to sea turtles, tropical fish, coral reefs, and migrating humpback whales.
