PA-169 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign Coffee Mug - Design Overview

This coffee mug features a design inspired by the PA-169 road signs found throughout Pennsylvania. The artwork directly emulates the appearance of these signs, incorporating the essential elements of PennDOT's Location Referencing System (LRS).

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central element is the "SR 169" designation, prominently displayed. "SR" signifies "State Route," reflecting the state-maintained status of the road within PennDOT's inventory. The "169" represents the specific four-digit route number used internally by PennDOT for identification purposes.

The design may also incorporate other visual cues commonly found on these segment markers. This could include directional arrows, potentially indicating the direction of increasing segment numbers along the road, in accordance with the LRS guidelines.

While appearing to resemble typical highway route markers, the design symbolizes something deeper: the meticulous system PennDOT uses for managing and maintaining the state's roadways. It represents a precise method of identifying specific locations for mapping, maintenance, and reference purposes. The design's purpose is to highlight the less obvious role of these signs, indicating a hidden network of state control and organization behind the familiar landscape of Pennsylvania roads.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (β‰ˆ330 ml) and 15 oz (β‰ˆ440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle β€” 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 β€” suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (β‰ˆ330 ml) and 15 oz (β‰ˆ440 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 β€” 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.
