USA - Manhattan (1990) (Map) Accent Coffee Mug

This design is a printed street map of Manhattan, drawn in the cartographic style of 1990 and laid out as a flat, detailed sheet of city blocks.

Visual Elements & Composition

Off-white covers half the design, giving the map a paper-like ground. Warm grey, sage green and navy blue mark the streets, the blocks and the parks, with tomato red as a small accent. The grid of streets runs across a rectangular map sheet, and Central Park stands out as a green patch in the middle of the island. Neighbourhood labels and a map key legend sit along the edges, while the printed words "SPECIAL PLACES OF THE WORLD," "Manhattan," "National Geographic Society," "NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE" and "WASHINGTON, D.C." frame the chart like a magazine insert.

Meaning & Symbolism

The map treats Manhattan as a place defined by its grid, its open green space and its unmistakable shape. The National Geographic credits and the 1990 date root it in a specific moment of editorial cartography, when a city map was both a reference and a keepsake. The result is a nostalgic record of how the island was charted at the close of the 1980s.

Turning the Map in Hand

A map on a mug is read in pieces, one street at a time, as the cup turns in the hand. The grid lines wrap around the curved body, so the island appears and disappears with each rotation, much like flipping through a folded atlas on a morning commute. For anyone who has ever navigated Manhattan by memory, this is a cheeky way to keep the city within reach at the breakfast table.

Accent ceramic mugs with a glossy white exterior and a colored interior & handle. Offered in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), these mugs pair strong visual contrast with everyday durability — lead- and BPA-free.

Bright interiors and matching handles add a crisp pop of color to classic white ceramic. The glossy glaze gives prints a smooth backdrop while the colored inside creates an instant focal point on any table or shelf.

Available in multiple accent colors, these mugs keep a familiar C-shaped handle and a comfortable mouth for sipping. They’re designed to be both decorative and practical, holding up to daily routines without fuss.

  • Material: white ceramic body with colored interior and handle; glossy finish.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to match different serving needs.
  • Design: high-contrast interior brings vivid attention to your chosen colorway.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free, suitable for everyday hot beverages.
  • Function: classic C-handle for secure holding and easy lifting.

These accent mugs are ideal for daily coffee, tea, and cocoa. The colored interior makes them easy to identify in shared kitchens and gives a little designer touch to a breakfast nook.

  1. Everyday use: comfortable for morning routines and built to fit in most cupboards and cupholders.
  2. Office-ready: stand out on a desk without being flashy — useful for communal spaces or personal mugs.
  3. Pairing: mix and match interior colors across sets for a coordinated but lively collection.

Tip: darker interior colors hide light staining better over time; lighter colors show contrast with froth and cream.

These mugs are dishwasher- and microwave-safe, but gentle handling prolongs the finish. Use the top rack for dishwashing and avoid harsh scrubbing pads to keep the glossy surface and color bright.

For best long-term results, hand-wash with mild soap and a soft sponge when possible. Avoid soaking in aggressive detergents and don’t microwave empty mugs.

Two sizes available: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller size fits classic morning pours; the larger one gives space for milk, foam, or an extra-long pour.
