Pacific Ocean (1992) - Black Mug Design

This design takes the Pacific Ocean as its single subject, the largest body of water on Earth, presented as one vast and open expanse.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is built around the ocean itself rather than a scene set within it. Its title carries the composition: the Pacific fills the frame, and the year 1992 sits beside it as a fixed point. The "(Map)" tag places the piece in the tradition of charts, where the sea is the whole picture and land is secondary.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Pacific stands for distance, scale and navigation. Explorers, traders and fleets have crossed it for centuries, and a map of it carries that sense of the unmeasured. The 1992 date anchors the work to a particular moment, turning a broad natural subject into a marked point in time, the kind of detail that makes a piece feel like a keepsake of a specific year.

Made for the Mug in Hand

A mug is held close and turned slowly while the coffee cools, so the design is seen in stages: a stretch of water as the cup comes round, then the wider field as it is set down again. The printed sea wraps a curved surface, so the view shifts with every turn in the hand. Black is the ground here, which gives the ocean a deep, nocturnal quality that suits slow mornings and long conversations over a second cup. Anyone who has ever traced a route across the Pacific with a fingertip will recognise the feeling this cup brings to the table.

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.

These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.

They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.

  • Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
  • Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
  • Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.

These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.

  1. Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
  2. Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
  3. Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.

Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.

These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.

Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.

Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.

Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
