SC-170 1926 (South Carolina) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug

This flat, black-and-white road marker sets the outline of South Carolina and the route number 170 on a single square sign, dated 1926.

Visual Elements & Composition

White fills most of the design, with black taking roughly a fifth of the space. The sign is a square with rounded corners, framed by a double-line border that gives it the look of a highway shield. The South Carolina state outline is the central motif, and the numerals 170 are the only text. The flat vector drawing has no shading or texture, so every line stays crisp and the composition reads at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

Road signs are built to be read quickly, and this one carries two references: a state and a numbered route. The year 1926 is when the United States introduced its numbered highway system, so the date places the sign in the same era as the shields it recalls. Route 170 ties the artwork to a specific piece of American road history, and the nostalgic mood comes from pairing a state map with a milestone from the open road.

Life Around the Mug

A mug is turned in the hand with every sip, so the sign rotates into view and back again, and the state outline is the first thing you see when you lift it. The square shape sits neatly on the curved wall, and the double border follows the round of the rim. For a road-trip fan, a history buff or someone who keeps a map on the fridge, it becomes a conversation starter that gets read every morning.

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.
