Flag of the Governor of Sierra Leone Coffee Mug Design

This coffee mug showcases the historically significant design of the Governor of Sierra Leone's flag, used from 1916 to 1961. The design is a powerful emblem of British colonial rule and the identity of Sierra Leone during that era.

Visual Elements

The central feature is a white disc bearing the coat of arms of Sierra Leone. Within the shield, a captivating scene unfolds: an African figure positioned on the shoreline, gazing towards an approaching ship, symbolizing the arrival of trade, and potentially representing new beginnings. The inclusion of an oil palm tree further grounds the scene in the local environment and economy. Encircling the coat of arms is a laurel wreath, a traditional symbol of honor and achievement.

The entire central design is set against the backdrop of the Union Jack, the national flag of the United Kingdom, representing the Governor's role as a representative of the British Crown. The flag is defaced, or altered, with the addition of the Sierra Leone coat of arms in the center.

Meaning and Symbolism

The coat of arms embodies the complex history of Sierra Leone under British rule. The figure on the shore, the ship, and the palm tree represent key elements of the country's identity. The motto "Auspice Britannia Liber" – "Free under the protection of Britain" – appears on a scroll under the emblem, underscoring the colonial context. The use of the Union Jack and the governor's flag format signifies British colonial governance during the time period.

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.
