Myanmar Passport Cover (1988 2010) - Ceramic Mug Design

This design reproduces the State Seal of Myanmar as it was used from 1988, rendered as a bold, formal emblem of heraldic authority.

Visual Elements & Composition

Red dominates the artwork, covering most of the field, while gold picks out the emblem's major elements. The style is flat and vector-clean, with hard edges and no shading, so every symbol reads clearly from a distance. A map of Myanmar sits at the centre, set over a large 14-cog pinion. Ears of paddy curve around the outside, and two chinthe, the guardian lions, flank the whole composition. A five-pointed star and lettering in Burmese script and English, including "UNION OF MYANMAR" and "PASSPORT", complete the layout.

Meaning & Symbolism

Each element carries a clear message. The cogwheel stands for industry, the paddy for agriculture, and the map for the nation itself. The chinthe are traditional protectors, a motif common across Burmese art. The State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) adopted this version in 1988 after modifying the socialist-era seal of 1974. The most telling change was the removal of the words "Socialist Republic", and the switch to a gold colour scheme. The seal is a record of how a government chose to present itself, and the passport cover made it a document most citizens carried every day.

On the Ceramic Mug

A mug is turned in the hand, so the emblem reveals itself in stages. The circular arrangement of the cogwheel and paddy keeps the seal balanced from every angle, and the lions appear as you rotate the cup. It is a design that rewards a slow look over a morning coffee, and it makes a conversation starter for anyone who recognises the passport it was drawn from.

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.
