North Pole (1907) - Mug Design

This design is a map of the top of the world, with the North Pole itself sitting at the centre of the composition.

Visual Elements & Composition

The map is drawn as a circle of the Arctic, radiating outward from the pole. Its linework is fine and precise, with coastlines, channels and islands rendered in close detail, and the open, empty spaces of the polar ice left almost blank. Nothing shouts for attention. The eye settles on the centre first, then follows the lines outward, which suits a print that has to hold its own on a curved surface.

Meaning & Symbolism

Dated 1907, the map belongs to the years when the Arctic was the last great blank on the world's geography and reaching the pole was a national obsession. Explorers were racing to claim it, and every chart of the period was a record of ambition as much as of land. The date in the title anchors the piece to that moment, when the pole was still a destination rather than a fact, and the map becomes a snapshot of how far people were prepared to go to fill in the last white space.

Turning the Story in Your Hand

A mug is a map that moves. As you turn it, the Arctic rotates past you in pieces, so the pole stays in view while the coastlines slide by at the edges. It is a small, personal way to read a historic chart: you hold it, you turn it, and you get to decide which part of the frozen north to look at next. Give it to someone who has ever wondered what lies at the top of the globe, and let them do the exploring over their morning coffee.

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.
