PA-176 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug: Design Description

This coffee mug showcases the iconic visual language of an Interstate highway sign, specifically representing Interstate 176 (I-176) in Pennsylvania. The design is instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with American roadways.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the shield for I-176. It’s a classic Interstate highway sign, featuring a red top banner with the word "INTERSTATE" in bold, white lettering. Beneath this, a blue field displays the large white number "176." This color combination and typographic style are standard across the U.S. Interstate system and immediately convey information about a controlled-access highway.

The design adheres to the established visual cues used across the Interstate system, including the fonts and proportions of the numbers and text. The simplicity of the sign design itself, with its straightforward presentation of route information, reflects the functional nature of its purpose: to provide clear and concise navigation for drivers.

Meaning and Symbolism

The sign is a symbol of regional connectivity in Berks County, Pennsylvania, specifically between the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) and US 422 near Reading. The appearance of the sign on the mug can symbolize travel, road trips, and the vital role of infrastructure in modern life. The Interstate system itself is a lasting symbol of the United States’ engineering prowess and mobility.

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.
