China (1964) - Ceramic Mug Design

This design is a map-style piece that takes its focus from China and fixes it to a single year, 1964.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is built around the map format, so the country sits at the centre of the composition and reads as a defined territory rather than a loose scene. The year 1964 is the key typographic element, naming the design and anchoring the image in time. Nothing competes with that pairing, which keeps the layout clean and deliberate.

Meaning & Symbolism

A map of China dated 1964 is a document of a particular moment. Its subjects are the country and the year, and its mood is historical, with themes of chronology and cultural legacy running through it. The design asks the viewer to consider what the region looked like in the mid-1960s and to treat that year as a point of reference in a longer story. It works as a conversation starter for anyone drawn to history, cartography, or the record of how places have been represented over time.

Held in the Hand

A mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the map does not appear all at once. Each quarter-turn brings a new part of the territory into view as the coffee is drunk. The commemorative date stays in the reader's line of sight, so the year is seen again with every refill. Printed on a mug, the 1964 map becomes a small, daily object of historical reflection.

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.
