Illinois 31 1926 Road Sign Mug Design

This mug showcases a design that evokes the nostalgia of early 20th-century American highway travel. The artwork prominently features the bold "31" โ€“ a clear reference to Route 31 in Illinois. This numerical designation is central, immediately identifying the subject matter as a route marker.

The year "1926" is integrated into the design, adding a layer of historical context. This specific year is significant because it marks the adoption of the U.S. Numbered Highway System. Therefore, the "1926" isn't just a date; it represents an era of standardized signage and the nascent development of a nationwide road network.

The "Illinois" designation clearly specifies the state in which this route operates. The mug's design thus visually represents a vintage highway route marker for Illinois Route 31, hinting at a time when road travel was becoming increasingly accessible and the American landscape was being connected.

The overall style of the design is reminiscent of the period's road signage, often characterized by simple, easily readable typography and bold, contrasting colors meant for legibility on the open road. The mug's design successfully captures the essence of that time.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (โ‰ˆ330 ml) and 15 oz (โ‰ˆ440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle โ€” 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 โ€” suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (โ‰ˆ330 ml) and 15 oz (โ‰ˆ440 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 โ€” these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. Theyโ€™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 donโ€™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.
