Heavens, The - Monthly Star Charts (1970) - Ceramic Mug Design

This design reproduces a set of monthly star charts from 1970, laid out as a reference tool for tracking the night sky across the year.

Visual Elements & Composition

The charts are built from fine linework and scattered points of light, arranged in the grid-and-circle structure typical of mid-century astronomical plates. Constellation outlines and star positions dominate the field, with a restrained palette that keeps the focus on the celestial data. The layout reads as a working document: each chart presents a specific slice of sky, set out so a stargazer can match what is overhead against the page.

Meaning & Symbolism

Star charts like these stood for order imposed on the heavens. Each constellation and marked star is a point of navigation, a way of turning an unpredictable night sky into something that can be learned month by month. Issued in 1970, the charts belong to a period when printed astronomy was a household hobby as much as a classroom tool, and the design carries that mood of patient, scientific curiosity.

Made for the Hand That Holds It

A mug is turned slowly in the hands, so the chart rotates with every sip, and a viewer reads one month, then the next, as the cup goes around. The design suits a vessel you hold close and return to each morning, a small stargazing chart that comes out with the coffee. Pour something warm, and the sky stays in view.

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.
