Canada - The Great Lakes 2 (1987) - Ceramic Mug Design

This design is a map of Canada's Great Lakes, drawn as a clean geographic subject with nothing added to distract from it.

Visual Elements & Composition

The composition is built around the lakes themselves. The map presents the region directly, with no decorative border, no illustrated figures and no ornamental flourish. Its clarity comes from restraint: the eye goes straight to the shorelines and the water, which carry the whole image. The title line supplies the only text, naming Canada, The Great Lakes and the year 1987, so the map reads as a document first and a picture second.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Great Lakes are one of North America's defining natural features, a chain of freshwater that shapes the border between Canada and the United States and the climate and commerce of the surrounding land. Dating the piece to 1987 places it in the late twentieth century, when printed regional maps still served as the everyday reference for how people pictured their country. The design treats geography and history as one subject: a record of how the region was understood at that moment.

Turning a Map in Your Hands

A mug is a object you turn as you drink, so the map is never seen all at once. Each rotation brings a new stretch of coastline around to face you, the way a traveller follows a route one leg at a time. It is a good fit for anyone who likes their coffee with a side of cartography, and for Canadians who will recognise the lakes at a glance and want to show it off over the morning kettle.

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.
