I-290 MA 1961 (Massachusetts) Road Sign Coffee Mug Design

This coffee mug showcases the iconic Interstate 290 road sign design from Massachusetts, as it would have appeared in 1961. The artwork faithfully replicates the visual elements of the early 1960s Interstate shield, offering a piece of highway history.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central element of the design is the classic Interstate shield. The vibrant red banner at the top boldly displays "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, immediately identifying the road's classification within the national system.

The heart of the design features a striking blue field. Dominating this field are the large, white numerals "290," representing the specific highway designation. This provides immediate and clear identification of the route.

A white border surrounds the shield, adding visual contrast and helping the colors pop. This reinforces the design's readability and makes the sign easily recognizable from a distance. The simple and bold color scheme of red, white, and blue reflects the American identity, and the importance of this interstate road.

For added historical accuracy, the design may include the state name "MASSACHUSETTS" along the bottom. The presence of such a detail provides clear geographic context, emphasizing the route's location.

This mug design evokes the spirit of the early Interstate era, a period of significant infrastructural growth and modernization. The sign symbolizes connectivity, ease of travel, and the ambition of the nation's transportation network.

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.
