About this design
AH70-IRN
AH70-IRN (Iran) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
This design is a flat, modern road sign: a single green route marker bearing the numerals A70 and a small Tr badge, set against a black field.
Visual Elements & Composition
Deep green dominates the artwork, filling most of the frame as a rounded rectangle. A rectangular inset panel in white holds the route number, which is the clear focal point. The A70 numerals are bold and easy to read at a glance, with the Tr badge sitting beside them as a secondary mark. Black appears only in small accents, so the palette stays tight and the composition feels deliberately uncluttered. Nothing competes with the sign itself.
Meaning & Symbolism
Route markers exist to make a journey legible. A number on a sign tells a driver where they are and where the road leads, and this design distils that function into its simplest form. The AH70-IRN identifier places the sign within Iran's road network, linking the artwork to the country and to the wider Asian Highway system that its route designation belongs to. The result is a quiet nod to travel, navigation and place, rendered in the visual language of modern signage.
Made for the Hand, Turned in Motion
A mug is a object you turn while you drink, so the design reveals itself in stages. Rotate the cup and the green panel passes across your view, the white numerals catching the eye before the badge comes round. It is a fitting pairing for anyone who likes their morning coffee with a little sense of direction, and a thoughtful gift for a friend who is always planning the next trip.

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.
These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.
They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.
- Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
- Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
- Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
- Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
- Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.
These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.
- Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
- Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
- Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.
Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.
These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.
Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.
Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.
Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
