MN-309 Wide Coffee Mug - Design Description

This coffee mug showcases a horizontally extended version of the iconic MN-309 road sign, a visual symbol of Trunk Highway 309 in the state of Minnesota. The design pays homage to the official signage utilized throughout the state's transportation network.

Artwork Details

The design faithfully replicates the essential elements of the Minnesota highway marker. At the top, the word "MINNESOTA" (or a silhouette of the state) is rendered in a clean, legible font, reflecting the state's official branding. Beneath, the route number "309" is prominently displayed, using a font and color scheme consistent with official MnDOT signage standards. This signifies the specific route and provides instant recognition.

The "Wide" Design and its Significance

The "wide" aspect of the design highlights the importance of enhanced clarity. It mirrors the concept of stretching a road sign horizontally, which is done in real-world applications to improve legibility, particularly at greater distances or higher speeds. The wider layout subtly alters the border curvature to accommodate stretching, while maintaining overall aesthetic and visual guidelines of the original.

Meaning and Symbolism

The MN-309 design represents the spirit of exploration and travel, inherent in a state's road system. It invokes familiarity and nostalgia for those who have traveled Trunk Highway 309. The stylized signage, combined with the "wide" adaptation, provides a unique aesthetic that signifies the functional yet aesthetically considered design of the road signs themselves.

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.
