PA-238 1948 Coffee Mug: A Journey Through Pennsylvania History

This coffee mug showcases a captivating design inspired by the iconic Pennsylvania road signs of the late 1940s. The artwork pays homage to the state's rich history and unique identity through its visual elements.

The Keystone Symbol: A Nod to Pennsylvania's Legacy

At the heart of the design lies the keystone shape, a prominent symbol of the Commonwealth. Pennsylvania is proudly known as the "Keystone State," and the keystone shape on the mug reflects that moniker. It’s a powerful emblem that visually connects the design to the state's heritage.

A Vintage Aesthetic: The 1948 Road Sign Style

The design emulates the aesthetic of Pennsylvania's route markers from 1948. This specific period is characterized by the use of standardized fonts, a detail that brings a sense of authenticity and historical accuracy to the mug's artwork.

"Penna" and the Route Number: A Detailed Reproduction

The artwork mirrors the historic design by incorporating the abbreviation "Penna" (short for Pennsylvania) at the top of the keystone. Below, the route number "238" is prominently displayed, signifying a specific Pennsylvania route. While Route 238 did not exist in 1948, the mug's design blends the nostalgic style with a modern route number, creating a unique visual appeal.

A Collector's Item and Conversation Starter

This coffee mug is not just a functional item; it's a piece of art that invites conversation. The artwork reflects a love for history, a passion for Pennsylvania, and an appreciation for iconic design elements. The combination of the keystone shape, the "Penna" abbreviation, and the route number creates a striking visual that’s sure to grab attention.

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.

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.
