Iowa 170 1926 Road Sign Coffee Mug - Design Description

This coffee mug evokes the spirit of Iowa's early highway system with its stylized design. The primary visual element is a road sign representing "Iowa 170," a route number with historical significance related to Iowa's roadways.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The artwork is reminiscent of the classic 1926 Iowa road sign design. The road sign graphic is likely circular, echoing the original marker shape. The design probably features a white background, consistent with the description of Iowa's early signs. "IOWA" is displayed prominently, likely in a bold, easily readable font across the top of the sign. Below "IOWA," the number "170" would be present, representing the specific highway route.

Meaning and Symbolism

While the design is based on the idea of a 1926 road sign for Iowa 170, the sign design actually did not exist in the 1926 Iowa Highway system. This design is instead a stylized representation of the era’s road signage and represents the history of transportation in Iowa. It symbolizes the spirit of adventure and the open road, paying homage to a pivotal moment in Iowa's transportation history. The mug is a tribute to Iowa’s road infrastructure and history.

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.
