Poland - The Face and Faith 2 (1982) - Mug Design

This design takes its whole identity from a single year and three words: Poland, face, and faith, set against 1982.

Visual Elements & Composition

The catalogue record does not describe the artwork's colours, shapes or layout, so the design is best read through its title. The title places a human face at the centre of the picture and pairs it with faith, a combination that points to a portrait or figure rather than a landscape or abstract field. The date in parentheses anchors the image in time, and the numeral "2" marks it as a sequel or second treatment of the same theme.

Meaning & Symbolism

In 1982, Poland was living under martial law, declared in December 1981, with the Solidarity movement suspended and its members under pressure. Catholic faith had been a central support for Polish national identity through decades of outside control, and the pairing of a face with faith speaks to that inheritance: the individual person, the collective body, and the belief that held them together. The work reads as a statement about who a nation is when its public life has been closed off.

On the Mug

A mug is held close and turned slowly in the hand, so the design is seen in pieces: the face on one side, the lettering and date as the cup rotates. Each sip brings the image up to eye level for a few quiet moments, which suits a piece about reflection. The sequence of viewing matches the sequence of the title, from Poland to face to faith, and the year stays in view until the cup is empty.

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.
