MCM-Era Turquoise Atomic Starburst 11 oz Ceramic Mug
This 11 oz ceramic mug features a turquoise ground scattered with crisp white atomic starbursts. The simple two-tone composition has the optimistic, graphic clarity of classic Mid-Century Modern surface design, while White, Pink, and Orange options add a choice of handle color.
Use it for coffee, tea, milk, or a well-earned afternoon refill. The easy-grip handle feels comfortable in hand, and the starburst print brings a small jolt of color to a workday without overwhelming the rest of your kitchen or desk.
Please note: This mug is made in the USA and ships only within the United States. Avoid microwave use. Minor color, placement, and size variations may occur between production batches.

Loved in mid-century homes
Collectors come for one print and stay because the next piece still looks like 1958 — starbursts, boomerangs, kidney tables, and that dry Palm Springs sun.
The Atomic Cat prints made the living room feel finished overnight.
I had the Eames-ish sofa and the teak sideboard. The wall was still dead. These cats look like they wandered out of a 1959 catalog — black silhouettes, starbursts, that burnt-orange ground. Guests ask about them before they sit down.
Palm Springs on the wall, without looking like a motel postcard.
I wanted that desert-modern feeling — pool, palms, pink stucco light — not a tourist print. The colors are dry and graphic. Hung over the credenza it reads collected, not themed.
The floor lamp is the quiet hero of the whole room.
Scale was the worry. It sits beside the sofa like a genuine mid-century piece — thin arm, warm pool of light, no visual noise. We stopped using the overheads at night.
Finally a gallery wall that looks mid-century, not Pinterest-generic.
Starbursts, atomic motifs, a little humor. I mixed three prints over the slat bench and it suddenly looks like a room someone actually lived in in 1961. Framing advice in the journal helped with scale.
Made-to-order did not mean “wait forever for a reprint.”
Ordered two Atomic Cats and a palm print for a dinner we were hosting. Packaging was museum-level, colors matched across the set, and they look considered next to our existing teak — not like three random internet finds.
