Soviet Era Poster 88 The Soviet Era Poster 88 refers to a graphic design piece that originated from the Soviet Union during the late 1950s through the 1980s. This particular poster is numbered as part of a series, with '88' indicating its specific placement within this collection. Soviet Era posters are renowned for their vibrant colors, bold typography, and powerful imagery that served to communicate ideological messages and promote political, social, and cultural events during the Soviet period. Poster 88, like many of its contemporaries, was produced by skilled graphic designers working under state-owned publishing houses. These posters played a crucial role in shaping visual culture within the USSR, reflecting both the aesthetic preferences and ideological underpinnings of the time. They served as a form of propaganda, encouraging citizens to embrace the Communist ideal while fostering a sense of national pride and unity. Today, Soviet Era posters, including Poster 88, are collectible items of historical significance that provide valuable insights into the visual language and societal values of the era. Their enduring allure lies in their unique blend of artistry, political messaging, and nostalgic charm.

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.
