Pacific Ocean (1936) - Mug Design

This is a 1936 map of the Pacific Ocean, a cartographic view of the world's largest body of water printed as a design in its own right.

Visual Elements & Composition

The ocean fills almost the whole field, so the blue-toned water reads as the subject and the landmasses act as its edges. Coastlines and island chains are drawn with fine, deliberate linework, and the scattered islands create a rhythm across the surface rather than a single focal point. Printed lettering and place names sit in the open water and along the shores, giving the piece the clean, typeset character of a period chart.

Meaning & Symbolism

A map of the Pacific in 1936 is a record of how the ocean was understood at that moment: a vast expanse divided into named territories, shipping lanes and distances that had to be crossed by sea. The design celebrates navigation and exploration, the idea that a body of water too big to picture whole can be held on a single sheet. Its era gives it a quiet, nostalgic weight, the look of a chart that once guided real voyages.

Where the Map Meets the Mug

A mug is turned slowly in the hands, so the map is never seen all at once. Each rotation brings a new stretch of coastline and another cluster of islands around to the front, much like following a route across the chart one leg at a time. The white base lets the blues and linework stand out clearly, and the handle sits against open water, so the design travels with every sip. It suits anyone who likes their coffee with a little distance and horizon attached.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — 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 — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 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 — 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.
