Coat of arms of Costa Rica (1906-1964) - White Coffee Mug

This is the national coat of arms of Costa Rica as it was used from 1906 to 1964, drawn as a flat, formal heraldic emblem.

Visual Elements & Composition

Ocean blue takes the largest share of the design, with gold, forest green, sky blue and white filling the rest. A shield sits at the centre, divided into a valley and three volcanic peaks. Two sailing ships ride the water on either side of it, and a rising sun glows above the mountains. Laurel branches frame the shield, tied with a ribbon bow at the base, and a scroll banner carries the lettering REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA along with AMERICA CENTRAL. Everything is arranged symmetrically, so the eye settles on the shield first.

Meaning & Symbolism

Each element stands for a pillar of the nation. The volcanoes and fertile valley represent Costa Rica's mountainous land and agricultural heartland. The two ships mark its maritime commerce and its position between the Pacific and the Caribbean. Stars above the shield stand for the country's provinces, and the rising sun signals hope and prosperity. The palm branches are a long-standing emblem of peace. Adapted from the original 1848 arms, this version appeared on official state documents and government buildings throughout the twentieth century, which is why it still reads as a record of how the country saw itself.

Made for the Mug

A mug is turned in the hand and seen from every side, so the emblem is never viewed all at once. The shield can face the drinker while the ships and sun wrap around the curve, letting the scene unfold as the cup is rotated. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone with Costa Rican roots, or for anyone who likes their morning coffee with a little history.

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.
