Most Valuable Starbucks Mugs

Valuable starbucks mugs

While we all go to Starbucks for the quintessential caffeine jolt, we often sleep on the company’s various coffee and tea accessories, but we shouldn’t because some of them have become quite valuable.

These Starbucks mugs and tumblers have transcended their initial purpose of holding a drink and have become prized items among collectors. Check your cupboards to see if you own any of the following Starbucks mugs — they may fetch you a pretty penny.

14. Witches Brew Mug (Tie)

Witches Brew mug

Alternative name: Witch’s Brew

Released: 2019

Value: $200

Note: Data for the most valuable Starbucks mugs comes from HobbyDB.com.

Bottom Line: Witches Brew Mug

“Double, double toil and trouble!” Tied in the 14th spot, this cauldron mug is perfect for concocting magic spells or drinking a special pumpkin spice brew around Halloween.

It’s one of the few Starbucks mugs that comes with its own spoon.

14. Magic Kingdom Mug (Tie)

Magic Kingdom mug

Alternative name: 50th Anniversary

Released: 2021

Value: $200

Bottom Line: Magic Kingdom Mug

Celebrate all things Disney with this special Magic Kingdom mug for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary.

The park opened in 1971, and 25 of its most popular attractions — from Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride to Pirates of the Caribbean — are featured.

13. NYC Tumbler

NYC Tumbler

Alternative name: Graffiti

Released: 2015

Value: $210

Bottom Line: NYC Tumbler

If you look at this tumbler closely, you can see the tagged wall design that’s so iconic to the Big Apple around the famed Starbucks logo.

This, combined with the gold “NYC” initials and the black-and-white Siren logo, are so New York that we can see Carrie Bradshaw carrying one.

11. New York Mug (Tie)

New York mug

Alternative name: The Big Apple

Released: 2002

Value: $230

Bottom Line: New York Mug

Unlike the graffiti tumbler, which is more for the natives, this mug is for tourists.

It features all the famous elements of the NYC skyline — from the Chrysler building to the MetLife building. It’s from the Starbucks’ Skyline Series.

11. Sabyasachi + Starbucks Mug (Tie)

Sabyasachi + Starbucks mug

Alternative name: Red Mug

Released: 2022

Value: $230

Bottom Line: Sabyasachi + Starbucks Mug

Made in collaboration with Indian bridal designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, this Starbucks mug was an instant collectible when it was released in 2022.

It, and other pieces in the collection, are covered with biodiversity artwork from the Toile de Jouy art organization.

10. Russia Mug

Russia mug

Alternative name: NA

Released: 2019

Value: $250

Bottom Line: Russia Mug

While there are a few mugs symbolizing Russia, this one from the You Are Here Collection is a rarity, hence its price point.

Starbucks has since left the country and sold off all its regional inventory, so these mugs are becoming even more valuable.

9. St. Petersburg Mug

St. Petersburg mug

Alternative name: NA

Released: 2014

Value: $350

Bottom Line: St. Petersburg Mug

There is more than one style of St. Petersburg mug made by Starbucks, but this one is the most desired by collectors. (And, again, Starbucks is no longer in Russia.)

The skyline of St. Petersburg is mostly raised and white, save for the gold dome of St Isaac’s Cathedral.

8. Giant Abbey Mug

Giant Abbey mug

Alternative name: NA

Released: 2016

Value: $450

Bottom Line: Giant Abbey Mug

Who doesn’t love a big cup of Jo in the morning? If you can’t get your fill, the Giant Abbey mug’s got you — it holds a whopping 138 ounces of coffee or whatever liquid you like.

This massive mug was a limited-edition piece and sold out quickly when it was introduced in 2016. It frequently appears on eBay and Etsy.

6. Blue Horse Set (Tie)

Blue Horse Set

Alternative name: Blue Horse Mug And Tumbler Set

Released: 2014

Value: $500

Bottom Line: Blue Horse Set

This mug and tumbler set is from South Korea — it not only came with a mug and tumbler but also a creamer and gift card.

A complete set is hard to come by, which, of course, is what makes it so desired by collectors.

6. Swarovski Double Deck Tumbler (Tie)

Swarovski Double Deck tumbler

Alternative name: North America Starbucks Swarovski Double Deck

Released: NA

Value: $500

Bottom Line: Swarovski Double Deck Tumbler

We could not find the release date on this particular mug, but the item is from North America.

The white tumbler features a gold background and Swarovski crystals where the iconic Starbucks logo would be.

5. Tokyo Mug

Tokyo mug

Alternative name: NA

Released: 2009

Value: $630

Bottom Line: Tokyo Mug

This mug, part of the company’s Global Series, is a collector’s item due to its very limited run.

It was only available at certain Starbucks (i.e., not all) stores in Tokyo, Japan, and neighboring areas.

4. Seville Mug

Seville mug

Alternative name: NA

Released: 2008

Value: $650

Bottom Line: Seville Mug

This rare mug is the result of a corporate mistake. When Starbucks prints country mugs, they use the English pronunciation, but city mugs have a local or regional name. “Seville” is the English name of the Spanish city.

Starbucks recalled the mugs and replaced them with the “Sevilla” spelling, which makes this version quite sought after.

3. Swarovski Pumpkin Spice Tumbler

Swarovski Pumpkin Spice tumblr

Alternative name: 10th Anniversary | Pumpkin Spice Latte

Released: 2013

Value: $720

Bottom Line: Swarovski Pumpkin Spice Tumbler

When Starbucks celebrated the success of its pumpkin spice drinks in 2013, it went all out with this Swarovski crystal–bejeweled tumbler.

And you know what that means — 2023 is the 20th anniversary of Starbucks pumpkin spice, so the company will have to top itself. (Get ready for your future collectible!)

2. North Island Mug

North Island mug

Alternative name: Te Ika-a-Mui

Released: 2010

Value: $750

Bottom Line: North Island Mug

What makes this North Island New Zealand mug so valuable? It’s another misprint. This mug, part of the Global Icon Series, was never sold in New Zealand, as it was printed with the wrong picture.

It was pulled from the few shops it appeared in and was disposed of. However, some people bought them before that happened, and the few that are out there are pretty rare.

1. Puerto Vallarta Mug

Puerto Vallarta Mug

Alternative name: Puerto Vallarta 1

Released: 2009

Value: $1,770

Bottom Line: Puerto Vallarta Mug

Yes, there are other Puerto Vallarta mugs from the coffee giant, but this one is the holy grail for collectors.

From the company’s Global Icon Series, this mug features the Malecon Seahorse.
