Discovery Series – Nevada

Posted on

We’ve seen the release of the ornament earlier; here is the bigger mug, Discovery Series Nevada. Apart from the Mountain Bluebird, Sagebrush, Lake Tahoe, Entertainment and gaming, designers were able to incorporate more symbols of the state in this release:

Just to be sure, I’ve compared this photo with the pictures of the Nevada mug from this post. Well, what do you know, it turned out to be the new, v2 version! Check out the comparison picture below. The first thing we see on the front of the mug is that the bird has changed.… Read more

Here’s Starbucks Been There Ornament Nevada. The string is red and we can also see “the silver state” nickname on the front of the mug.
