SC-173 1926 (South Carolina) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug

This design turns a South Carolina highway marker into a clean, nostalgic keepsake, pairing the state's outline with the numeral 173 and the year 1926.

Visual Elements & Composition

Flat, uncluttered and built on two colours, the artwork is mostly white with black taking up the rest. A square with softly rounded corners frames the whole piece, the way a roadside sign frames its message. Inside it sits a bold outline of South Carolina, with the numeral 173 placed beside it. Nothing competes for attention. The shape of the state and the number do all the talking, and the restraint gives the design its signage feel.

Meaning & Symbolism

Road signs exist to tell travellers where they are, and this one does exactly that. The state silhouette names the place, while 173 and 1926 mark the moment and the marker. 1926 was the year American roads began receiving the numbered designations that still guide drivers today, so the date ties South Carolina to the era when the country's highways were first being organised. The result reads as a tribute to the state's place in that story, rather than a map for navigation.

Made for the Mug in Your Hand

A mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the design gets a close, unhurried look every morning. The square frame suits the mug's rounded body, with the state and numeral rotating into view as you lift it to your lips. It is the sort of quiet, sign-like piece that rewards a second glance over a cup of coffee, making it a natural conversation starter on the kitchen counter or the office desk.

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.
