USA - Rediscovering Hawaii (1995) - Ceramic Mug Design

This design is a map of the United States, built around the islands of Hawaii and the story of rediscovering them.

Map Layout & Composition

The map is the subject, so the eye reads it as a whole country first, with its outlines and borders set out in a flat, cartographic style. Hawaii is drawn as a separate cluster of islands, set apart from the mainland so it reads as its own presence rather than an afterthought. The title text, Rediscovering Hawaii, and the date, 1995, sit within the artwork and frame the map as a deliberate statement, not just a geographic record.

Meaning & Symbolism

A map is a way of telling people where they are and what belongs together. Here the design makes a point of Hawaii, which sits far from the continental states, and of the act of looking again at a place that is easy to overlook. The 1995 date anchors the piece in a specific moment, so the map reads as a snapshot of how the country and its islands were understood at that time. The idea of rediscovery gives it a reflective note: the islands are not new, but the viewer is invited to see them fresh.

Made for the Mug

A mug is held in the hand and turned slowly while it is drunk from, so the design is seen in pieces rather than all at once. The map wraps around the body of the cup, and as you rotate it the mainland gives way to the islands and back again. That slow turning suits a map: you trace the coastlines with your gaze while your hands warm around the cup. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone with a connection to the islands or an interest in how the country has been mapped.

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.
