Discovery Series Ornament – Idaho

Posted on

According to my notes, Discovery Series Ornament Idaho is the last Discovery release from the USA that I was missing in my collection. We can always expect more mugs and ornaments in the future, though.

The Discovery Series Ornament Idaho brings together some of the natural attractions, local traditions and official symbols associated with the Gem State. Idaho became the 43rd state of the United States on July 3, 1890, after first becoming a U.S. territory in 1863. Much of its identity is tied to its mountains, rivers, forests and agriculture, with potatoes and huckleberries becoming particularly recognizable symbols of the state.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Maryland

The Discovery Series Ornament Maryland captures several of the state’s most recognizable symbols in a compact design. While Maryland is often associated with the Chesapeake Bay and its maritime heritage, the ornament also highlights the state’s official flower, bird, and one of its favorite pastimes, creating a well-balanced tribute to the Old Line State. The artwork keeps the clean, colorful style of the Discovery Series while focusing on icons that are instantly recognizable to Marylanders.

– One of the most eye-catching elements is the Black-eyed Susan, Maryland’s official state flower since 1918.… Read more

Similar to the previous series, the Discovery Series Ornament West Virginia is somewhat harder to find due to the smaller number of stores in the state.

The state is defined by rugged mountains, tight-knit communities, and long-standing cultural traditions. Its landscape has shaped both daily life and artistic expression for generations.

Discovery Series – West Virginia

Here’s the release from the Mountain State. I have to admit, the colour chosen for the title of the Discovery Series West Virginia mug is not the strongest choice, as it tends to blend into the green background. Well, this is what makes it unique!

West Virginia, admitted to the Union in 1863, is a state defined by mountain landscapes, forested hills, and deep Appalachian traditions. Known as the Mountain State, it is shaped by winding rivers, small towns, and a strong connection to outdoor life.… Read more
