BR-267 jct
BR-267 jct (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
A white highway route shield sits centred on a black field, the BR-267 marker reduced to its clearest possible form.
Visual Elements & Composition
The design is built from just two colours, black and white, with white taking up roughly four-fifths of the artwork and black the rest. The dominant form is a shield with a rounded bottom and a pointed notch at its centre, outlined by a double border that gives the marker its formal, official-looking edge. Inside the shield, the letters BR sit above the numerals 267, set in bold, blocky lettering that reads instantly from a distance. Flat vector shapes keep everything crisp, with no shading, gradients or decorative extras.
Meaning & Symbolism
A route shield is a navigation tool first, a way of telling drivers which numbered national road they are on and where its junctions lie. BR-267 is one of Brazil's federal highways, and this artwork isolates its marker as a symbol of the country's road network. The design carries the modern, informative tone of transport signage, celebrating the quiet system of numbers and shapes that guides travellers across a vast landscape. It is a tribute to the routes that connect places, and to the cartography that makes them legible.
Cup in Hand, Road Ahead
A mug is turned in the hand as it is drunk from, so the shield rotates around the cup with each sip, appearing and vanishing as the handle moves. The C-shaped handle sits beside the marker, and the double border follows the curve of the body evenly all the way round. For road-trip lovers and map-minded friends, this is a morning cup that keeps the route in view.

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.
