Discovery Series – Charlotte

Here are some of the symbols of the Queen City that we can see in the design of the Discovery Series – Charlotte mug (on top of those we saw in the ornament post).

Update from 2018-07-10: our reader Candace (see comments), pointed out that the street names on the sign on the front of the mug are misspelled. It says “Tyron st.” and “Trader st.”, while it should be “Tryon st.” and “Trade st.”.… Read more
