Texas 108 (1917) Road Sign Mug Design

This coffee mug showcases a piece of Texas history, featuring the design of a Texas State Highway 108 road sign as it appeared in 1917. The artwork is a direct replication of the earliest road signs used in Texas, reflecting a simpler era of state highway development.

Visual Elements

The design is intentionally minimalist, mirroring the utilitarian nature of the original sign. The central focus is the highway number, "108," rendered in bold, black lettering. This signifies the specific route and its designation within the state's initial highway network. Above the number, the word "TEXAS" is prominently displayed, also in black, solidifying the sign's origin and jurisdiction.

Design Representation and Symbolism

The design represents a significant moment in Texas' transportation history. The 1917 SH 108 road sign symbolizes the very beginning of the state's organized highway system. It represents the early efforts to connect communities and facilitate travel within the vast expanse of Texas. The stark simplicity of the design, with its black and white color scheme, is a visual embodiment of early 20th-century aesthetics and road construction practices.

The mug design therefore serves as a nostalgic tribute to the state's rich history, offering a tangible connection to the origins of the Texas highway system and the evolution of transportation infrastructure.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
