I-95 MA 1957 (Massachusetts) Coffee Mug Design

This coffee mug showcases the iconic I-95 road sign design as it appeared in Massachusetts during the genesis of the Interstate Highway System in 1957. The artwork is a bold representation of a bygone era in American transportation and design.

The Classic Interstate Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the classic Interstate shield, a symbol instantly recognizable to those who have traveled the American highways. It features a bright red top band emblazoned with the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. This serves as a clear indication that the route is part of the federally-funded Interstate Highway System, signifying a commitment to long-distance travel and standardized routes.

Color and Symbolism

The main field of the shield is a vibrant blue, a color often associated with the open sky and expansive roadways. Dominating this blue background is the number "95" rendered in large, blocky white numerals. The contrast of the white numbers against the blue background ensures clear legibility from a distance, reflecting the practical and straightforward nature of road signage. The white outline provides a clean border, framing the essential information.

State Identity

Notably, the design may incorporate the state's identity with "MASSACHUSETTS" integrated above or below the number 95 on some early shields, thereby personalizing the sign to reflect its location. This subtle addition grounds the Interstate route within a specific regional context.

Directional Guidance

This representation often includes a directional banner displayed above the shield, such as "NORTH" or "SOUTH", giving critical context to the direction of travel. This is a very functional element, which offers essential assistance to drivers, underscoring the purpose of road signage to facilitate navigation and safety. The banner complements the shield, giving further information on where to go.

Overall Impression

The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time on the road, with its bright colors, crisp lines, and the overall focus on clarity and function. It represents a piece of American history and a reminder of the transformative impact of the Interstate Highway System on travel and commerce.

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.
