Idaho 49 1955 Road Sign Coffee Mug - Design Description

This coffee mug showcases a classic piece of Idaho history, the iconic 1955 Idaho road sign design for Route 49. The artwork directly references the mid-century design of state highway markers, instantly evoking a sense of nostalgia and Americana.

Artwork Elements

The design features the distinct outline of the state of Idaho, rendered in black, prominently displayed against a crisp white background. Within the state's silhouette, the word "IDAHO" is typically included, further reinforcing the connection to the state. The route number, "49", is boldly displayed in black, likely positioned in the upper right quadrant of the Idaho outline, mirroring the original sign's layout.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design's symbolism is rooted in navigation and state pride. The state outline itself serves as a geographical identifier, helping drivers connect the road with the landscape. The bold route number is a straightforward way to designate a specific route. The "1955" element, though likely referencing the design era, gives this design a vintage or retro aesthetic. This creates a connection to the mid-20th century history of highway travel and state-specific signage.

The overall design represents a straightforward, practical approach to wayfinding – a clear and simple means of indicating a specific route within the context of the state.

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.
