PA-184 1926 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign Coffee Mug - Design

This coffee mug design celebrates a piece of Pennsylvania's rich road sign history, even if the exact combination of elements didn't exist historically. The artwork draws inspiration from early 20th-century Pennsylvania road signage, with a focus on historical authenticity while also acknowledging some creative liberties.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central design element features a stylized keystone, the iconic symbol of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, also known as the "Keystone State." This keystone shape, a key feature of early Pennsylvania route markers, frames the central elements of the design.

Inside the keystone, the design likely incorporates the route designation "184." In the top of the keystone, or as a detail just above the route number, the abbreviation "Penna" may appear, reflecting the historical signage convention of abbreviating "Pennsylvania." This design language, reminiscent of the 1920s road signs, helps to give the artwork a vintage appearance.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design’s symbolism reflects the historical context of the US highway system. It represents a nod to the era when states began to organize and standardize their road systems. The keystone itself symbolizes Pennsylvania, connecting the design to the state’s identity and heritage.

This mug design is a visual tribute to the rich heritage of Pennsylvania’s highway system and a celebration of early road sign aesthetics. The design captures a unique, historic moment in time, even though that exact moment never actually existed.

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.
