Soviet Era Poster 538 The Soviet Era Poster 538 is a graphic art piece that dates back to the mid-20th century, specifically within the cultural context of the Soviet Union. This particular poster belongs to a series of propaganda posters created during this period, designed to disseminate ideological messages and promote certain values or behaviors among the population. The content and design of Poster 538 reflect the aesthetic sensibilities and political climate of the Soviet Union. Propaganda posters like these served as a powerful tool for communicating socialist ideas and values, such as hard work, unity, and progress, to the masses. They often depicted idealized scenes or iconic figures from Soviet history, aiming to inspire patriotism and loyalty. The exact artist behind Poster 538 is not specified, as many of these works were produced by collectives rather than individual artists. However, the style and techniques employed are characteristic of the era, with heavy use of bold typography, vibrant colors, and stylized imagery. Today, Soviet Era posters like 538 serve as valuable historical artifacts, providing insights into the social, political, and artistic landscape of the time.

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.
