Korea and Manchuria (1904) - Ceramic Mug Design

This design is a historic map of Korea and Manchuria, drawn from early twentieth-century cartography and dated to the single year 1904.

Visual Elements & Composition

The map is built around the land itself. Coastlines, borders and the outlines of the two regions fill the field, and the historic place names sit across them in period lettering. Nothing decorative competes with the geography. The year 1904 appears as the title reference, anchoring the whole piece to a single moment.

Meaning & Symbolism

A map from this era records how people understood territory at a particular point in time. Korea and Manchuria were, in 1904, at the centre of a rivalry between Japan and Russia, and the lines and names on this sheet show a region as it was drawn and labelled then. Its value lies in that snapshot: the old names, the old boundaries, and the sense of East Asia seen through the cartographer's eye. For anyone who loves history, geography or the look of vintage maps, it reads as a document as much as a picture.

Turning the Map in Hand

A mug is a map you read one sip at a time. As you turn it in your hands, the regions slide past and the place names come round to meet you, so the geography is never seen all at once. It makes a good conversation starter for a history buff, and a slightly cheeky one for anyone who has ever claimed to know their Manchuria from their Mongolia. Set it beside a cup of tea on a quiet morning and the 1904 sheet becomes a small, daily piece of the past.

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.
