USA - Mid-Atlantic States 2 (1976) - Mug Design

This design is a map of the Mid-Atlantic states of the United States, drawn in 1976 and set down as a flat, plotted view of the region rather than a scene or a portrait.

Visual Elements & Composition

The map fills the whole frame, so the eye lands on the land and its boundaries first. State lines do the structural work, dividing the region into a patchwork of irregular shapes that step down the Atlantic seaboard. Coastline, rivers and shaded boundaries give the surface its texture, and the compass and lettering are kept quiet so the geography stays in charge. Place names and state labels sit in small, careful type, rewarding a closer look.

Meaning & Symbolism

Maps of this kind are records of how a region was understood at a given moment. The Mid-Atlantic grouping, usually taken to include New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, is a region defined as much by history and trade as by borders. A map from 1976, the year of the American bicentennial, carries that anniversary context too: it shows a nation looking back over its own shape and settlement, and presenting that geography as a story worth telling.

Cradling a Map in Your Hands

A mug is turned in the hand, so the map never sits still. Lift it and the coastline slides past your fingers; set it down and the states face you again. Each sip brings a different corner of the region into view, which suits a design built on borders and neighbours. It is a cheeky way to spend a morning, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who has ever traced a road trip with their finger across a paper atlas.

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.
