Soviet Era Poster 506 The Soviet Era Poster 506 refers to a visual art piece that originated during the Soviet Union's existence, specifically within the context of its artistic and propaganda movements. This poster is one among numerous graphic designs produced by the state for educational, ideological, or promotional purposes. As part of the broader Soviet propaganda aesthetic, this poster employs a distinct visual language characterized by bold colors, simplified forms, and clear messages. Its design elements reflect the socialist realism style, emphasizing idealized depictions of workers, farmers, and other ordinary citizens in a unified and progressive society. The number 506 likely signifies an inventory or cataloging system used during its production within the Soviet Union's official art institutions. Despite this numeric designation, the content, context, and artistic value of the poster remain significant for understanding the historical period, its ideologies, and artistic trends. The exact artist behind Poster 506 is often unknown, as many of these works were created by collectives or anonymous designers working within state-sanctioned institutions. However, the poster's production date and provenance can provide valuable insights into the specific era and ideological climate in which it was produced. As a piece of Soviet art, Poster 506 serves as an essential historical document that offers unique insights into the cultural, political, and social developments during this period. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the essence of a specific time and place while contributing to a broader understanding of the human experience under a particular societal structure.

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.
