I-29 IA 1957 (Iowa) Coffee Mug: A Visual Journey

Classic Interstate Design

This coffee mug proudly displays the iconic design of the original I-29 (Iowa) road sign, as specified in the 1957 signage manual. The artwork captures the essence of a bygone era in American highway history, a design that continues to resonate with its simplicity and enduring significance.

Color and Shape

The design is immediately recognizable by its shield shape, a standard for Interstate route markers. The color palette mirrors the original sign: a bold red band at the top, transitioning into a striking blue field in the middle. The white numeral "29" provides a crisp contrast, ensuring clear visibility.

Symbolism and Meaning

The I-29 Iowa shield is more than just a road marker; it represents the state's integral role in the inception and development of the Interstate Highway System. It's a visual homage to a pivotal moment in American infrastructure, a testament to mobility and connectivity. The colors are intentionally chosen to signify prominence and direction, guiding travelers across the nation.

A Nostalgic Tribute

The artwork on this mug is a tribute to the legacy of the original design, carefully recreated to reflect the standards set forth in the 1957 manual. The fonts and layout are precisely replicated, making it a perfect visual representation of the historic road sign and a nod to a significant era in transportation 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.
