I-471 OH 1961 (Ohio) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug: Design Description

A Hypothetical Journey in Ceramic

This mug presents a captivating design inspired by a hypothetical road sign. The artwork takes us back to 1961, envisioning what an I-471 sign might have looked like if the Interstate had existed at that time in Ohio.

Classic Interstate Aesthetics

The design faithfully replicates the iconic look of early Interstate signage. The shape is the familiar cutout Interstate shield, a symbol of America's evolving transportation network. A bold red banner at the top features the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, immediately communicating the roadway's nature. This element is a nod to the federal program behind the Interstate system.

Bold Numerals and State Identity

The heart of the design features the striking "471" numerals, rendered in white, displayed prominently on a vibrant blue field. This number represents the specific route, the focus of the design. The addition of "OHIO" at the bottom of the sign further establishes its geographical context, grounding it in the state and its historical significance. Although hypothetical, the design reflects the evolution of road signage and the state's relationship to transportation networks.

A Timeless Symbol of Movement

With its simple yet powerful design, the mug captures the spirit of early Interstate signage, and transports us back to a point in time, where a major artery would soon connect the state and impact the lives of drivers and communities.

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.
