Virginia 148 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug

This coffee mug showcases a piece of Virginia history: the 1980 design of the Virginia Route 148 road sign. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the iconic state outline shield, a symbol instantly recognizable to anyone who has traveled Virginia's roads.

Design Elements

The design features the core elements of the 1980s road sign. Dominating the design is the white silhouette of Virginia itself, a familiar and beloved shape. A thick, crisp black border frames the state's outline, giving the design a clean, defined appearance. At the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is boldly displayed in black block letters, clearly identifying the state.

Centered within the Virginia outline, the route number "148" is emblazoned in large, black numerals. This number represents the specific road, acting as a direct and immediate indicator of location and direction.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design is a nostalgic representation of a specific era of Virginia's highway system. The state outline itself is a powerful symbol of Virginia's identity, pride, and geographical boundaries. The use of black and white mirrors the reflective sheeting technology of the time, making the sign recognizable day or night, and emphasizes clarity and straightforwardness.

More than just a sign, this design evokes memories of road trips, exploration, and the simple beauty of state identity. It celebrates a piece of Virginia’s transportation history, rendered for daily enjoyment.

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.
