PA-313 1948 Coffee Mug: A Journey Back in Time

This coffee mug showcases a piece of Pennsylvania history. The design features a rendition of the PA-313 state route marker as it appeared in 1948.

A Keystone State Icon

The central element of the design is the keystone, a direct reference to Pennsylvania's nickname, "The Keystone State." This shape isn't just a decorative element; it's a powerful symbol of the state's identity and heritage. The keystone shape, unique to Pennsylvania, immediately identifies the route as a state highway.

1948: A Vintage Aesthetic

The "1948" in the design denotes a specific era in Pennsylvania road sign design. The year signifies the adoption of a newer font standard and a style change for the route markers, moving towards a more contemporary look. This historical detail imbues the design with a vintage charm, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American road travel. The use of a cutout route shield further reflects the design trends of the time.

Visual Clarity and Symbolism

The design balances visual clarity with historical accuracy. It’s a faithful representation of how the PA-313 route marker would have looked in the late 1940s. The stark contrast of colors used and the simplicity of the font are characteristic of the design standards of that period. It serves as a visual reminder of the state’s legacy in the world of road signage, making it more than just a piece of artwork; it's a conversation starter and a tangible connection to the past.

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.
