Coat of Arms Hobart Australia - Design Description

This coffee mug showcases the official Coat of Arms of Hobart, Tasmania, a powerful visual representation of the city's history and identity.

The Shield

At the heart of the design is the shield, the central element. The upper half features a red lion passant on a silver background, adopted from the Tasmanian flag, symbolizing Hobart's role as the capital city. The lower section presents a gold six-pointed star with wavy rays against a blue backdrop. This star is derived from the heraldic arms of Lord Robert Hobart, the city's namesake.

The Crest and Supporters

Above the shield, the crest depicts a majestic three-masted ship, the "Flying Childers," in full sail. This vessel represents Hobart's deep maritime history and the crucial role of shipping and whaling in its early development. On either side of the shield, two native Australian animals, an emu and a kangaroo, act as supporters. Both are reguardant (looking backward) and wear apple garlands around their necks, referencing local fauna and the significance of the Tasmanian apple industry.

Compartment and Motto

Beneath the shield, a green island is depicted with blue wavy lines, representing Tasmania itself, surrounded by the sea. Native plants, including the Richea and Tasmanian waratah, flourish from this base, celebrating the island's distinctive flora. Below the entire design, a scroll displays the Latin motto "Sic Fortis Hobartia Crevit," meaning "Thus in strength did Hobart grow," a powerful expression of the city's growth and resilience.

Overall Representation

The design as a whole is a complex tapestry of heraldic symbolism. It combines elements that represent Hobart's capital status, historical roots, maritime past, connection to nature, and enduring spirit.

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.

  1. Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
  2. Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
  3. 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.
