Pacific - Western Rim (1989) - Ceramic Mug Design

This design is a map of the Pacific's western rim, the long arc of coastlines and islands that frames the ocean's far side, set out as a single cartographic view.

Visual Elements & Composition

The map fills the surface edge to edge, with the coastlines and land masses drawn as the dominant shapes and the open ocean left to read as negative space. Because the artwork is printed onto a white base, the paper-like ground of the map and the ceramic itself become one surface, so the land sits lightly on the white rather than against a coloured backdrop. Place names and the title line are the only text, and the date, 1989, anchors the piece in its own moment.

Meaning & Symbolism

The western rim of the Pacific is one of the most recognisable geographical arcs on Earth, a chain of nations, archipelagos and coastlines bound together by one vast body of water. Maps of this kind carry a point of view: they choose what to centre, how far to extend the frame, and where the ocean begins and ends. This one, dated 1989, records how that region was understood at the close of the twentieth century, when the Pacific was still often pictured as a distance to cross rather than a neighbourhood to share.

Holding the Map

A mug is turned in the hand while it is drunk from, so the map never appears as a single flat picture. Each turn brings a different stretch of coast into view, and the rim seems to wrap around the cup as the coffee or tea goes down. It is a quiet, cheeky way to spend a morning travelling the edge of an ocean without leaving the kitchen table.

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.
