I-394 MN 1961 Road Sign Coffee Mug Design

Start your day with a touch of interstate history! This coffee mug features a faithful recreation of the 1961 I-394 road sign as it would have appeared in Minnesota during the early days of the Interstate Highway System.

Classic Interstate Design

The design prominently showcases the iconic Interstate shield, a symbol of connectivity and mobility across the nation. The shield's form immediately identifies the road as part of the federally funded Interstate network, a key element in post-war American infrastructure development.

Color and Composition

The artwork adheres to the classic Interstate color palette: a red banner across the top bearing the word "INTERSTATE" in bold white lettering. This red provides a visual focal point. Below, a vibrant blue field contains the large, clear white numerals "394", marking the specific highway number. These numerals are designed for maximum visibility, crucial for drivers at speed.

Minnesota Connection

The design may, optionally, include the state name "MINNESOTA" at the bottom of the sign, confirming the highway's geographical location. This addition helps ground the design, making it more personal and connecting it specifically with the Twin Cities area and its western suburbs, served by the actual I-394.

In essence, this mug design represents a nostalgic nod to an era of expansion, progress, and the enduring legacy of the American highway system. It serves as a visual reminder of the infrastructure that connects communities and facilitates travel across the state of Minnesota.

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.
