Soviet Era Poster 171 Soviet Era Poster 171 refers to a specific print design produced within the Soviet Union during its existence, between 1922 and 1991. Posters were an essential part of the communist propaganda machinery, serving as visual tools for disseminating ideological messages, promoting political agendas, and encouraging social mobilization. This particular poster, identified as number 171, belongs to a collection that was produced by the State Committee on Art Affairs (Goskomkis) under the auspices of the Soviet government. While specific details about the content or subject matter of Poster 171 are not given in the title, it is representative of the symbolic imagery and artistic style common to Soviet propaganda posters during this era. The poster's design reflects a blend of Socialist Realism—the official art style in the USSR—and graphic modernism, with bold colors, simplified forms, and strong contrasts that were intended to capture viewers' attention and inspire action. Themes often found in Soviet posters include idealized representations of workers and peasants, socialist construction, and calls for patriotic duty. As a piece of historical artifact, Soviet Era Poster 171 offers insights into the cultural and political climate of the Soviet Union during the 20th century, as well as the role that visual communication played in shaping public opinion and influencing social behavior within this unique context.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
