About this design
SP-371
SP-371 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
This design reproduces a road sign: a white pentagon with a black inner border, carrying the route number 371 and the letters SP, the marker used for a state route in São Paulo, Brazil.
Visual Elements & Composition
White dominates the artwork, covering most of the surface, with black used for the outline, the inner border and the lettering. The pentagon sits centred and upright, so the shape reads at once. Inside it, SP sits above the numerals 371, set in bold, evenly spaced characters. The style is flat vector: no shading, no texture, no background scene. Everything is reduced to the shape, the border and the text, which gives the piece its clean, instructional clarity.
Meaning & Symbolism
A route marker is a navigational tool, and this one says where you are and which road you are on. SP identifies the state of São Paulo, the most populous state in Brazil, and 371 names one of its numbered state highways. Taken together, the marker stands for the everyday geography of Brazil, the network of roads that connects towns and carries people between them. The design belongs to the SP-371 series and draws on the modern, functional visual language of road signage rather than on any figure or historical scene.
Made for the Hand, Read at Close Range
A mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the pentagon arrives in pieces: the border first, then the SP, then the 371 as the cup rotates. That sequence suits a route sign, which is also read as you move past it. The white field against the black lettering stays legible at close range, the way a sign is meant to be read on the move. Whoever has spent long hours on the road, or simply likes a cup that keeps its own direction, will find the idea of this route marker at their morning coffee a cheeky, well-chosen companion.

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.
- Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
- Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
- 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.
