Been There – Perlis

Posted on

Been There – Perlis is a mug for a city rich in history and cultural charm, located in the northernmost part of Malaysia. Once part of the ancient Kedah Kingdom, Perlis gained its own identity in the early 19th century when it became an independent state under Siamese rule. Later, it came under British protection through the 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty, shaping much of its modern administrative and architectural heritage. The state’s capital, Kangar, developed as a trading and agricultural center, known especially for rice cultivation.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Missouri

Posted on

Along with the ornament from the neighbouring state, I picked up this beautiful Discovery Series Ornament Missouri. I really like how the shades of blue stand out in the design; they make it especially eye-catching. Do you agree?

Before statehood, it was home to Native American tribes such as the Osage and Missouria and later became a major point of westward expansion.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Kansas

Discovery Series Ornament – Kansas is the latest addition to my collection.

Kansas became the 34th state to join the Union on January 29, 1861. Various Native American tribes had long inhabited the region before European settlers arrived via trails such as the Oregon and Santa Fe. It was at the center of national conflict over slavery in the 1850s, earning the nickname “Bleeding Kansas.” Over time, the state’s rich soil and climate made it a powerhouse of agriculture, transforming its economy and identity.… Read more

Been There – Dunedin

Posted on

It seems that Been There – Dunedin will be the last mug from this collection coming from New Zealand. I have to admit, it was hard to find good pictures of the mug. It seems to be quite rare, or maybe it just isn’t sold in stores anymore. Please note that it was released two years ago.

Dunedin, one of New Zealand’s most historically rich cities, was founded in 1848 by Scottish settlers under the auspices of the Free Church of Scotland.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Nevada

Posted on

Here is the Discovery Series Ornament Nevada that I recently added to my collection.

Nevada, admitted to the Union in 1864 during the American Civil War, is often called the “Battle Born State” due to its wartime statehood. Its history is closely tied to mining, as the discovery of the Comstock Lode in 1859 brought a rush of settlers and wealth to the region. Early Native American tribes, such as the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe, lived in Nevada long before European exploration began.… Read more

Here are some of the symbols of the city that we can see from the design of this espresso mug:
