Coat of Arms of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1920-1954) - Black Mug Design

This design reproduces the official coat of arms of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic as it stood between 1920 and 1954.

Visual Elements & Composition

The composition is built around a central hammer and sickle, the crossed tools that dominate the emblem. Ears of grain frame them, and a rising sun and a star sit above, completing the arrangement in a symmetrical, formal layout. Strong reds carry the main field, golden yellows pick out the emblem's highlights, and natural greens add the agricultural note in the grain. The contrast is high and the edges are crisp, so every element reads clearly from a distance and up close.

Meaning & Symbolism

The hammer and sickle stand for industrial workers and peasants, the two classes the Soviet state claimed to unite. Wheat signals the harvest and the land that fed the republic, while the rising sun and star were standard emblems of the new order, promising a bright future. Together they form a compact statement of early Soviet ideology. The emblem belongs to the RSFSR, the largest republic within the Soviet Union, and this version records the period when its heraldry was first set down in official form. The design works as graphic documentation of early twentieth-century political iconography.

Made for the Hand

A mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the emblem reveals itself in pieces as you rotate it: the sun first, then the tools, then the grain as the cup comes round. The black ground lets the red and gold stand out, the way the emblem was meant to be seen against plain fields. It is a history lesson for anyone who likes their morning coffee with a side of context, and a conversation starter for the friend who has everything except a strong opinion about heraldry.

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.
