China (1964) (Map) Accent Coffee Mug

This design is a printed map of China and its neighbours, drawn in the cartographic style of the 1960s and dated to the year 1964 in its title.

Visual Elements & Composition

Pale cream covers the largest share of the artwork, with light blue running a close second and carrying the seas. Thin yellow outlines trace the national borders, and sage green and pale grey fill the remaining areas. The map sits inside a rectangular frame, and the coastline runs across the composition in a long, irregular sweep. The lettering is set in capitals: CHINA, MONGOLIAN REPUBLIC, INNER MONGOLIA, KOREA, VIET NAM and TAIWAN, alongside the YELLOW SEA, EAST CHINA SEA, SEA OF JAPAN and SOUTH CHINA SEA.

Meaning & Symbolism

A political map is a record of how a nation was drawn at a given moment. Here the borders, names and coastal waters document the region as it appeared in the mid-1960s, when the year itself was the point of the piece. The design takes the look of an educational reference sheet and treats the map as a historical document, so the year 1964 functions as a fixed anchor for everything printed on it.

Turning It in the Hand

A mug is turned slowly while it is held, so the map reveals itself one region at a time. The Korean peninsula, the Mongolian border and the Taiwan Strait pass by in sequence as the cup goes round, which suits a design built on regional detail. Each sip brings a new stretch of coastline into view, and the year printed on the design keeps the historical context in sight for the whole ritual. It makes a strong conversation starter for anyone who keeps a stack of history books on the table.

Accent ceramic mugs with a glossy white exterior and a colored interior & handle. Offered in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), these mugs pair strong visual contrast with everyday durability — lead- and BPA-free.

Bright interiors and matching handles add a crisp pop of color to classic white ceramic. The glossy glaze gives prints a smooth backdrop while the colored inside creates an instant focal point on any table or shelf.

Available in multiple accent colors, these mugs keep a familiar C-shaped handle and a comfortable mouth for sipping. They’re designed to be both decorative and practical, holding up to daily routines without fuss.

  • Material: white ceramic body with colored interior and handle; glossy finish.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to match different serving needs.
  • Design: high-contrast interior brings vivid attention to your chosen colorway.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free, suitable for everyday hot beverages.
  • Function: classic C-handle for secure holding and easy lifting.

These accent mugs are ideal for daily coffee, tea, and cocoa. The colored interior makes them easy to identify in shared kitchens and gives a little designer touch to a breakfast nook.

  1. Everyday use: comfortable for morning routines and built to fit in most cupboards and cupholders.
  2. Office-ready: stand out on a desk without being flashy — useful for communal spaces or personal mugs.
  3. Pairing: mix and match interior colors across sets for a coordinated but lively collection.

Tip: darker interior colors hide light staining better over time; lighter colors show contrast with froth and cream.

These mugs are dishwasher- and microwave-safe, but gentle handling prolongs the finish. Use the top rack for dishwashing and avoid harsh scrubbing pads to keep the glossy surface and color bright.

For best long-term results, hand-wash with mild soap and a soft sponge when possible. Avoid soaking in aggressive detergents and don’t microwave empty mugs.

Two sizes available: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller size fits classic morning pours; the larger one gives space for milk, foam, or an extra-long pour.
