About this design

SP-340

SP-340 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug

This is a flat, graphic road marker: a black pentagon bearing the route number 340 and the prefix SP, the kind of sign that tells a driver which highway they are on.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black dominates the design, filling roughly a fifth of the artwork, while white covers the rest and frames the sign. The pentagon is drawn as a bold shape with a thin outline border running just inside its edge, so the sign reads as a crisp, self-contained emblem. The numerals 340 sit at the centre in heavy black, with the letters SP set above them as the prefix. There is no background scenery or ornament: the sign is the whole composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

SP-340 is a route designation from the state of São Paulo in Brazil, and the pentagon with its prefix is the standard way Brazilian state highways are marked. The design carries the language of the road itself: direction, distance and the simple promise that you are on the right path. Its modern, utilitarian look reflects the everyday signage that lines the highways it names, so the artwork speaks as much about travel and navigation as about any single place.

Why It Suits This Mug

A mug is turned in the hand, so the sign rotates past the eye with each sip, and the bold black pentagon stays legible from across the table. Wrapped around the curve of the body, the numerals read clearly from the handle side and the front alike. It makes a good companion for a long drive planned over a slow morning coffee, or for anyone whose road trips have been measured in highway numbers.

When you order it

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.

These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.

They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.

  • Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
  • Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
  • Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.

These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.

  1. Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
  2. Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
  3. Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.

Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.

These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.

Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.

Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.

Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
