North America - Indians of (1973) - Ceramic Mug Design

This is a 1973 map of North America that charts the Indigenous peoples of the continent across its territories, with the regions drawn as a single connected landscape.

Visual Elements & Composition

The continent fills the frame, with its coastlines, rivers and mountain ranges forming the structure of the image. Over that base sit the territorial boundaries and the names of the peoples who lived within them. The text is part of the design: nation names are set across the regions they describe, so the lettering and the land read together. Nothing competes with the map, and the eye moves from one region to the next as if following a route.

Meaning & Symbolism

A map is an argument about who occupies a place, and this one makes that argument plainly. Rather than showing North America as an empty expanse awaiting settlement, it places Indigenous nations at the centre of the continent's geography. The date matters too. Printed in 1973, the map belongs to a period when American Indian communities were asserting their histories and land claims more publicly, and the image records that recognition in cartographic form.

Turning It in the Hand

A mug is never seen all at once. As you lift it and turn it toward you, a different stretch of the continent comes into view, so the map is read in sections, the way a land is actually travelled. Held close, the names and borders are sharp enough to study over a morning coffee. It is a design for a slow look, and a good conversation starter for anyone who likes their history with a bit of cheek.

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.
