Nebraska State Spur 483 (Nebraska) Coffee Mug: Design Description

This coffee mug showcases a faithful recreation of a Nebraska State Spur 483 road sign, meticulously designed to reflect the aesthetic of the 1950s and 1960s. The artwork is a direct homage to the utilitarian yet iconic signage of the era, bringing a piece of Nebraska's highway history to your morning routine.

Visual Elements and Design

The mug’s primary design element is the road sign itself. Against a crisp white background, the classic layout of the Nebraska State Spur sign is prominently displayed. At the top, the word "Spur" is rendered in bold, black lettering, a clear identifier of the route's designation within the state highway system.

Below “Spur,” the route number "483" takes center stage. This number is also in bold, black lettering, presented in a style consistent with the standardized fonts of the mid-20th century. The font choice emphasizes legibility, a key characteristic of highway signage designed for quick recognition by motorists.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design’s symbolism is rooted in its historical context. The Nebraska State Spur 483 road sign represents a connection – a direct route from the main highways to smaller communities, facilities, and points of interest. This mug serves as a reminder of those crucial connections, offering a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time when roads were about linking people and places.

Moreover, the design evokes the spirit of postwar America, characterized by progress, standardization, and a focus on infrastructure. The sign’s clean lines and uncluttered layout reflect the era’s design sensibilities, representing efficiency and clarity in communication.

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.
