Texas 3 (1917) Road Sign Mug Design

This coffee mug showcases a piece of Texas history, celebrating the original design of the Texas State Highway 3 road sign from 1917. The design is a faithful reproduction of the simple, yet impactful, signage used to mark this crucial early highway.

Design Elements

The mug's design centers around a clean, white rectangular field, representing the sign's background. Across the top, the word "TEXAS" is boldly displayed in a block letter font, mirroring the typography of the original markers. This serves as an immediate identifier of location and state.

Positioned centrally below "TEXAS", a large black numeral "3" makes a clear and easily recognizable statement. It signifies the specific highway number and acts as the focal point of the design. A simple black border frames the entire composition, adding definition and further enhancing the visual clarity of the elements.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design of this mug is a tribute to early Texas infrastructure and the beginnings of its modern highway system. It represents a time before standardized state-outline shields, reflecting the simplicity and directness of early road marking. The mug embodies a sense of heritage and connection to the state's historical development.

The bold font and clean lines of the design reflect the straightforward functionality of the original sign. This iconic image is a reminder of the "Southern National Highway" corridor, a route that played a crucial role in connecting Texas cities along the Gulf Coast, and the evolution of transportation in the state.

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.
