North America - Land of the Maya, A Traveller's Map (1990) - Ceramic Mug Design

This is a 1990 cartographic design that charts the regions of North America associated with Maya history, drawn as a traveller's map.

Visual Elements & Composition

The continent fills the frame as the main subject, with its outlines and regional boundaries set out in the clean, measured manner of a traveller's map. The Maya-associated regions are the focus, so the eye moves from area to area rather than settling on one point. Labels and place names give the image its structure, and the whole sheet reads as a navigational document first and a decorative one second.

Meaning & Symbolism

The map ties together three subjects: the geography of the continent, the travel tradition of mapping unfamiliar land, and the history of the Maya civilization. Its date, 1990, places it in a period when printed maps still carried this kind of authority, and the design presents the Maya world as a documented, mappable part of North America's past. Read this way, the map is less a picture of places than an argument that history has a location.

Turning the Map in Your Hands

A mug is held and turned, so the map is never seen all at once. Each rotation brings a different stretch of the continent into view, the way a traveller unfolds a route one section at a time. Raise it for a slow morning coffee and the Maya regions come round to meet you. For anyone who has ever lost an afternoon over an atlas, this is a fitting companion to the first cup of the day.

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.
