US 63 Iowa 1926 Road Sign Coffee Mug Design

This coffee mug showcases a faithful reproduction of the original 1926 U.S. Route 63 (US 63) road sign as it appeared in Iowa. The design is a nostalgic homage to the early days of America's highway system, offering a glimpse into the evolution of road signage and travel.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The artwork centers around the distinctive shield design, immediately recognizable to those familiar with vintage road signs. The top of the design boldly displays the word "IOWA," clearly indicating the state of origin. Below "IOWA," the design features "U.S." and the route number "63" in a prominent, bold, serifed font, which was characteristic of the era. The color palette likely mirrored the actual signs of the time, providing a sense of historical accuracy.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a significant piece of American transportation history. The 1926 U.S. Highway System aimed to standardize the nation's road network, and this sign exemplifies that era. The bold lettering and clear layout signified a new era of travel, guiding motorists with a standardized, nationally recognized symbol. The inclusion of "IOWA" within the shield design indicates the location of the route, connecting the imagery to the geographic identity of Iowa. Owning this mug is owning a piece of the past; representing the evolution of travel and the rich history of road signage.

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.
