Arms of Canada 1873 - White Coffee Mug: Design Description

This coffee mug showcases the historically significant Arms of Canada from 1873, a visual emblem of the newly formed nation following Confederation. The artwork faithfully reproduces the heraldic design, offering a window into Canada's early national identity.

The Shield: A Quartered Legacy

At the heart of the design is the shield, meticulously quartered to represent the historical ties of Canada. The first quarter displays the three gold lions passant guardant on a red background (Gules), symbolizing England. The second quarter features the gold lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory on a gold background (Or), the heraldic representation of Scotland. The third quarter presents the gold harp on a blue background (Azure), signifying Ireland. Finally, the fourth quarter showcases the three gold fleurs-de-lis on a blue background (Azure), representing France.

At the base of the shield, a sprig of three maple leaves, depicted in their natural colors, is prominently displayed, symbolizing Canada and its natural heritage.

Crest and Supporters: Symbols of Sovereignty and Grace

Above the shield, the crest presents a gold lion passant guardant, crowned with the Imperial Crown, holding a red maple leaf. This powerful imagery embodies sovereignty and authority, underscoring the nation's connection to the Crown.

The design includes supporters, traditionally added in later 19th-century renditions. On the right (dexter) side, a gold lion holds the Union Flag. On the left (sinister) side, a silver unicorn, adorned with a coronet and with a gold horn, carries a banner of France. These supporters are integral to the design, reflecting courage, purity, and grace.

Motto: A Nation's Embrace

The motto, "A Mari Usque Ad Mare" (From Sea to Sea), is elegantly presented, completing the design and encapsulating the nation's vast geography from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

This meticulously rendered design offers a captivating glimpse into the foundational heraldry of Canada, making this mug a striking testament to history and heritage.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
