The Seal of the City of Cincinnati is a heraldic emblem that symbolically represents the city's history, values, and government. It was first adopted in 1790, making it one of the oldest municipal seals in the United States. The seal consists of an oval enclosed by a ribbon with the inscription "CINCINNATI," the city's Latin name derived from the Roman statesman Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. Inside this oval, there is a shield divided into four quarters, each bearing specific symbols related to the city's history or characteristics. The first quarter features three towers representing Cincinnati's status as a county seat and its historic importance as a fortified town. The second quarter displays an anchor symbolizing the city's position on the Ohio River and its maritime history. The third quarter showcases a lion, which represents strength and courage—attributes associated with Cincinnati throughout its development. Lastly, the fourth quarter depicts three ears of corn, reflecting the region's agricultural heritage. Surrounding these four quarters are thirteen stars representing the original thirteen colonies from which Cincinnati was founded. A scroll beneath the seal bears the city's motto: "Civitas Magna Est Sine Maceria," meaning "A great city is without walls." This signifies Cincinnati's openness and inclusivity as a thriving metropolis. In summary, the Seal of the City of Cincinnati is an important symbolic representation that embodies the city's history, values, and characteristics. Its design has evolved slightly over time but retains its original essence, reflecting the spirit of Cincinnati as a strong, welcoming, and historically significant American city.

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.
