USA - Manhattan (1990) - Ceramic Mug Design

This design takes the island of Manhattan and sets it down as a street map, so the city's shape and grid become the whole picture.

Visual Elements & Composition

The map fills the field edge to edge, with the long, narrow island running down the centre. Streets form a dense network of lines that tighten in the lower half and loosen toward the top, so the eye reads the grid before it reads any single name. Labels and numerals are small and sit close to the streets, rewarding a closer look rather than shouting from across the room.

Meaning & Symbolism

A map of Manhattan is a map of an idea as much as a place: a city built on a numbered grid, where getting from one point to another is a matter of counting blocks. The 1990 date pins the design to a specific moment in the city's history, when the streets looked much as they do now and the map reads as a snapshot of that era. The USA label places it within the wider tradition of American city mapping, where a street plan often stands in for a whole way of life.

Turning the Story in Your Hand

A mug is held and turned, so the map never sits still. Rotate it and the island slides across your view, the streets sweep past the handle, and the grid appears in fragments rather than all at once. Morning coffee becomes a slow tour of the city, one block at a time, which is exactly the kind of small, cheeky pleasure that makes a map mug a favourite gift for anyone who has ever argued about which way is uptown.

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.
