I-94 MN 1957 (Minnesota) Coffee Mug Design

This coffee mug showcases a piece of American highway history: the 1957 I-94 road sign design used in Minnesota. The design is a vibrant tribute to the early days of the Interstate Highway System.

The Iconic Shield

The central element of the design is the classic Interstate shield. The top band is a bold red, proudly displaying "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. This immediately establishes the sign's purpose: to guide travelers along the nation's premier highway network.

Color and Symbolism

The main field is a deep blue, providing the background for the large, white number "94." This number signifies the specific Interstate route – I-94 – a major east-west artery across Minnesota. The color palette itself is symbolic; the red, white, and blue hues echo the American flag, subtly imbuing the sign with a sense of patriotism and national pride associated with the expanding highway system.

State and Direction

Completing the design is the inclusion of "MINNESOTA," further grounding the sign in its location. Additionally, directional banners, typically above or below the shield, would indicate EAST / WEST. This further informs the traveler of their path.

A Nostalgic Tribute

This design is a visual reminder of a simpler time, when the Interstate System was a new and exciting venture, connecting communities and facilitating travel across the country. It is a striking representation of early 20th-century American design, embodying the spirit of adventure and the open road.

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.
