Iowa 26, 1950: A Classic Highway Design

This coffee mug showcases the iconic design of the Iowa 26 road sign from 1950, a piece of Iowa's rich highway history. The artwork faithfully recreates the sign's appearance, instantly transporting you back to a time when navigating Iowa's roads was a distinctly different experience.

The Circular Shield

At the heart of the design is the circular shield, a symbol of the Iowa highway system's commitment to clear and consistent signage. This shape provided excellent visibility on the roadside, ensuring motorists could easily identify their routes.

"IOWA" Above, "26" Below

The design clearly communicates its message. The word "IOWA," arched elegantly across the top, identifies the state, while the bold "26" prominently displayed below denotes the specific highway number. This simple yet effective layout exemplifies the function-driven design philosophy of the era.

A Vintage Reminder

The mug's artwork celebrates a piece of Americana. The design symbolizes the evolution of highway infrastructure and the crucial role road signs played in connecting communities and fostering travel. It's a tribute to a bygone era of road travel and a tangible piece of Iowa's heritage.

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.
