Flag of Floriana 1993-2006 (Malta) - Black Mug Design

This design reproduces the historical flag of Floriana, Malta, which was officially used from 1993 until 2006, and it presents the town's heraldry as a clean, confident emblem.

Visual Elements & Composition

The flag is split vertically, per pale, into two fields. The hoist side is a white field carrying a red rampant lion with a golden head. The fly side is a red field carrying a golden winged arm that grasps a silver sword held aloft. Red dominates the composition, with white, gold and silver providing the contrast. The artwork is flat and graphic, with bold shapes and no text or numerals.

Meaning & Symbolism

The lion, the winged arm and the sword are drawn from the coat of arms of Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena, who founded the town originally known as Borgo Vilhena. The emblem links Floriana to its founding and to the heraldic traditions of the Order of St John. The flag belongs to a significant period in the town's modern local administration, following the establishment of Maltese local councils, so it stands for civic identity as much as for history.

Turning the Story in Your Hand

A mug is turned in the hand as it is lifted, so the split between the two heraldic fields reveals itself in stages. The lion comes into view first, then the golden arm and silver sword on the opposite side, the way a flag is read as it unfurls. It makes a fitting choice for someone who likes their morning coffee with a little history, and it is a conversation starter for anyone with Maltese roots or a connection to Floriana.

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.
