OR 222 1948 (Oregon) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug

This design takes the form of a mid-century Oregon highway route marker, with the state name and route number 222 set in bold black on a white field.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is a flat vector piece built from just two colours, black and white, with white taking up roughly two-thirds of the design. The route shield sits at the centre, its outline carrying the number 222 in heavy black figures. A scrolled header bar above it reads OREGON, and an eagle with its wings spread rises over a pair of arrows. Every element is drawn with clean, hard edges, so the composition reads quickly, the way a sign is meant to be read from a moving car.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route markers like this one were designed to tell a driver where they were and where they were heading, and this piece keeps that purpose intact. The eagle and arrows are heraldic devices borrowed from state seals and official insignia, which give the sign its sense of authority. The year 1948 anchors the whole thing in the post-war period, when America was building out its highway network and its roadside identity. The result is a small piece of regional history rendered as a badge of pride.

Turning the Mug in Hand

A mug is held and turned rather than looked at from a distance, so the shield and header bar keep catching the eye as the cup moves. Each turn brings the eagle, the arrows and the OREGON banner back into view, like passing signs along a long road. The white ground lets the black linework stand out clearly at the kitchen table or on a desk, and the design suits anyone who has ever followed a route number across the state and wanted to keep a bit of that journey close by.

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.
