USA - North Central States 2 (1974) - Ceramic Mug Design

This design is a 1974 map of the North Central States of the United States, presented as a single cartographic view of the region's state lines and geography.

Visual Elements & Composition

The map fills the frame as one continuous region, with state boundaries drawn as the primary structure of the image. Nothing competes with the geography. The eye moves from state to state, following the borders across the middle of the country. The series number in the title, "2", signals that this is one part of a larger set, so the composition reads as a section of a bigger picture rather than a standalone emblem.

Meaning & Symbolism

Maps of this kind record how a nation was divided and named. The state lines are administrative decisions made over generations, and the 1974 date places this view in the decade when these boundaries were already long settled and familiar to schoolchildren and travellers alike. The North Central States were settled along rivers and rail lines, and a map of them carries that history of movement, farmland and growing towns in its outlines.

Designed for a Morning Cup

A mug is held in the hand and turned slowly while it is drunk from, so the map is seen in pieces: one stretch of border at a time, then the whole region as the cup comes round. The handle sits on one side and the design wraps the rest, which means the states you look at first are rarely the ones you see last. For anyone who likes to study a map over breakfast, the mug turns the chart into a small, daily reference you can read while you wait for the coffee to cool.

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.
