West Indies (1962) (Map) Accent Coffee Mug

This design reproduces a printed political map of the West Indies, dated 1962, with the Caribbean islands set out across a pale sea blue field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Pale sea blue covers roughly half the surface, so the water reads as the ground the islands sit on. Salmon-orange, pale yellow, dusty rose and pale green fill the landmasses in soft, flat tones. The irregular coastlines of Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and Jamaica run across the centre, while the Lesser Antilles appear as a chain of small inset panels. A separate inset shows the Bermuda Islands, and the northern coast of South America closes one edge. Lettering is set in capitals: WEST INDIES, CARIBBEAN SEA, ATLANTIC OCEAN, GULF OF MEXICO, along with PUERTO RICO, JAMAICA, BERMUDA ISLANDS, ARUBA, CURACAO and BARBADOS.

Meaning & Symbolism

The map is a record of how the region was drawn and named in the middle of the twentieth century. Its inset panels, which enlarge the smaller islands, show a cartographer working to make a crowded archipelago legible. Set in 1962, the piece belongs to a period when many Caribbean territories were approaching independence, and its clean, educational style carries the optimism and order of that moment. Read today, it is a snapshot of regional identity as seen from the outside, and a quiet tribute to island geography.

Turning the Map in Hand

A map on a mug is never seen all at once. As the cup turns, the coastlines slide past and the inset panels come round one by one, so the Caribbean is pieced together the way a traveller would meet it. The pale blue sea keeps the islands floating, and the sharp lettering of the labels stays readable at arm's length. It is a design that rewards slow handling, which suits a morning cup.

Accent ceramic mugs with a glossy white exterior and a colored interior & handle. Offered in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), these mugs pair strong visual contrast with everyday durability — lead- and BPA-free.

Bright interiors and matching handles add a crisp pop of color to classic white ceramic. The glossy glaze gives prints a smooth backdrop while the colored inside creates an instant focal point on any table or shelf.

Available in multiple accent colors, these mugs keep a familiar C-shaped handle and a comfortable mouth for sipping. They’re designed to be both decorative and practical, holding up to daily routines without fuss.

  • Material: white ceramic body with colored interior and handle; glossy finish.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to match different serving needs.
  • Design: high-contrast interior brings vivid attention to your chosen colorway.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free, suitable for everyday hot beverages.
  • Function: classic C-handle for secure holding and easy lifting.

These accent mugs are ideal for daily coffee, tea, and cocoa. The colored interior makes them easy to identify in shared kitchens and gives a little designer touch to a breakfast nook.

  1. Everyday use: comfortable for morning routines and built to fit in most cupboards and cupholders.
  2. Office-ready: stand out on a desk without being flashy — useful for communal spaces or personal mugs.
  3. Pairing: mix and match interior colors across sets for a coordinated but lively collection.

Tip: darker interior colors hide light staining better over time; lighter colors show contrast with froth and cream.

These mugs are dishwasher- and microwave-safe, but gentle handling prolongs the finish. Use the top rack for dishwashing and avoid harsh scrubbing pads to keep the glossy surface and color bright.

For best long-term results, hand-wash with mild soap and a soft sponge when possible. Avoid soaking in aggressive detergents and don’t microwave empty mugs.

Two sizes available: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller size fits classic morning pours; the larger one gives space for milk, foam, or an extra-long pour.
