PA-179 1960 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign Coffee Mug - Design Description

This coffee mug features a design inspired by the PA-179 road sign, a state highway in Pennsylvania. The artwork prominently displays the number "179" rendered in black, central to the design.

Sign Element: The Keystone

The black number "179" is situated within the iconic Pennsylvania state route marker shape: a white keystone. This keystone shape is a symbol of the state of Pennsylvania and is deeply associated with its identity and history. The use of this shape and the road number together create immediate recognition.

Sign Element: Number and Color

The stark contrast of the black numerals against the white keystone offers high visibility and visual clarity. While the "1960" is not part of the road number itself, it refers to the date of manufacture. It is possible that this information may have been included on older signs, adding a nostalgic, vintage feel to the design.

Sign Element: Visual Clarity and Meaning

The design clearly communicates the route number "179" which gives this mug a special link to a specific location in Pennsylvania, connecting the design to the Pennsylvania roadways and to those who travel them. The simplicity of the design, with its use of primary colors and a recognized shape, makes it instantly recognizable and meaningful for anyone familiar with Pennsylvania highways.

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.
