About this design
BR-935 jct
BR-935 jct (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
This design reproduces a Brazilian federal highway shield, the route marker that identifies BR-935 at a junction.
Visual Elements & Composition
The artwork is a flat vector graphic in two colours, black and white, with white dominating the field at roughly four parts to one. A single shield sits at the centre, its rounded bottom edge finished with a notched point and framed by a double-outlined border. Inside the shield, the letters BR sit above the numerals 935, set bold and evenly spaced so the code reads at a glance. Nothing else competes for attention: no background scenery, no decoration, just the marker and its label.
Meaning & Symbolism
The "BR" prefix marks a federal highway in Brazil's national road network, and "935" is the route's number within that system. The "jct" in the title signals a junction, the point where roads meet and traffic must choose a direction. The design therefore stands for wayfinding itself, the small sign that tells a driver they are on the right road. Its modern, utilitarian style reflects the functional signage used across the country's highways today.
Turning the Shield in Your Hands
A mug is held and turned, so the shield meets the eye in pieces, first the border, then the numerals, then the full marker as the cup comes round. The black field makes the white lettering read clearly against the cup's surface, and the simple outline suits the way you look at a mug each morning, close and unhurried. It is a quiet nod for anyone who has ever followed a route sign to a crossroads and wondered where it leads.

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.
