Band Of 107th U.S. Colored Infantry (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design shows a uniformed military brass band standing in front of a wooden barracks, a vintage sepia photograph honouring the musicians of the 107th United States Colored Infantry.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sepia cream fills most of the frame, with dark charcoal, a slate blue mat and a dusty tan ground keeping the tones muted and archival. The photograph sits as a rectangle on its blue mat, so the image reads like a print pulled from an old album. A gabled wooden building anchors the background, and the musicians stand in ranks before it, their tuba-type brass instruments held ready. The printed caption, "Band of 107th U.S. Colored Infantry," runs alongside the catalogue number LC-B817-7861, which gives the piece its documentary character.

Meaning & Symbolism

Following the Emancipation Proclamation, regiments of the United States Colored Troops became a vital part of the Union Army, made up primarily of African American soldiers. Their bands performed at parades, drills and ceremonies, and they lifted the morale of the men around them, even near the front lines. The brass instruments and the formal ranks signal discipline and professional pride maintained under severe pressure. The image honours the cultural contribution of the USCT beyond their combat roles, and the courage and professionalism of soldiers who served with distinction in the fight for freedom.

On the Ceramic Mug

A mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the band wraps around the curve and is seen one section at a time, from the instruments to the barracks and back again. Held close during a morning coffee, the caption and the musicians come into view as a quiet reminder of the men who made music a point of pride. It is a considered piece for anyone who enjoys history worn in the hand.

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.
