US 10S Minnesota 1926 Coffee Mug: A Journey Through Road History

This coffee mug showcases a piece of American road-travel history: the iconic "US 10S Minnesota 1926" road sign. The design pays homage to the original U.S. Numbered Highway system established in 1926, a pivotal year in the evolution of American roadways. The "S" suffix signifies the southern branch of the original U.S. Route 10 alignment in Minnesota, a route that no longer exists in its original form.

The Design Elements

The artwork replicates the historical "U.S. Route shield" design, recognizable by its distinct shape and bold numerals. The prominent "10S" within the shield immediately identifies the route, while "Minnesota" signifies its location. The inclusion of "1926" anchors the design in time, marking the era of its original implementation. The color scheme and font choices likely mirror the original signage, creating a sense of authenticity and historical accuracy.

Meaning and Symbolism

The presence of this design on a coffee mug is more than just a decorative element; it's a conversation starter. It represents a bygone era of road travel, the evolution of highway systems, and the significance of historical preservation. The sign is a symbol of exploration, adventure, and the ever-changing landscape of America. It represents a specific time and place and a tribute to a moment in time when the road ahead was just starting to be charted in a very structured way. For enthusiasts, this mug is a way to display their passion for history and road culture.

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.
