Soviet Era Poster 243 The Soviet Era Poster 243 is a graphic design piece originating from the former Soviet Union during its existence (1922-1991). This poster, like many of its contemporaries, served as a form of propaganda and visual communication for the masses. The artwork typically consisted of vivid colors, bold typography, and symbolic imagery to convey political ideologies or promote national values. Poster 243 is one of numerous designs produced by the State Publishing House "Politizdat" in Moscow, a significant producer of such works during the Soviet period. The exact date of its creation remains unknown; however, it can be roughly dated based on stylistic and iconographic trends common to that time. These posters were widely distributed across the Soviet Union through poster kiosks or sent to factories, schools, and other public institutions for display. They played a crucial role in shaping collective consciousness during this era by reinforcing ideological messaging, promoting patriotism, and influencing social behavior. Today, Soviet Era posters are highly sought-after collectibles among art enthusiasts and historians alike due to their historical significance and aesthetic appeal. They provide a unique insight into the cultural, political, and artistic landscape of the former Soviet Union, serving as tangible reminders of a bygone era.

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.
