Illinois 130A (1926) Coffee Mug: Design Description

This coffee mug features a design that evokes the nostalgia of early 20th-century Illinois road travel. The central artwork prominently showcases the outline of the state of Illinois, instantly identifying the geographical context.

Artwork and Visual Elements

Inside the state outline, the number "130A" is boldly displayed. This designation is crucial, representing a historic state highway route. The inclusion of the letter "A" signifies that it was a spur or alternate route branching off the main Illinois Route 130.

The "1926" notation below the route number is another key element. It does not necessarily indicate the exact year the route was designated, but it speaks to the era of the design style used by Illinois for its route markers. This year is also significant as it marks the beginning of the U.S. Highway System, impacting route signage nationwide. This specific aesthetic is a nod to a bygone era of road travel.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design serves as a visual reminder of Illinois's past and the evolution of its transportation infrastructure. The state outline and the route number create a sense of place and identity, while the "130A" highlights a specific, now-defunct segment of Illinois's road network. This design commemorates the history of Illinois state highways and the evolution of road signs.

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.
