Bealeton, Virginia. Company K, 93rd New York Infantry (U.S. Civil War) Black Coffee Mug

This design reproduces a black-and-white group portrait of the men of Company K, 93rd New York Infantry, set against the story of their time at Bealeton, Virginia.

Visual Elements & Composition

The photograph dominates the composition as a single rectangular frame. Its tones run from white and pale grey through charcoal to deep black, so the eye moves across the group and settles on the faces. Uniformed soldiers sit and stand together, some seated in the foreground and others behind them. A wagon wheel sits within the scene, grounding the portrait in the camp life of the period. The numeral 26 appears as the only written mark, a quiet reference that rewards a closer look.

Meaning & Symbolism

A group portrait of this kind was a record as much as a picture. Gathering a whole company before the camera fixed its members in one moment, and naming the unit and location ties those faces to a specific chapter of the 1860s war. The wagon wheel points to the supply and movement that defined regimental life, while the monochrome treatment gives the image the sober, documentary weight of the era. The design honours the identity of these soldiers and the place where they served.

Made for the Hand

A mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the portrait never appears all at once. The image wraps around the curve of the cup, and each quarter turn brings another row of figures into view, much as a long document unfolds one line at a time. It is a good companion for a slow morning with a hot drink, and a fitting way to keep the men of Company K close by.

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.

These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.

They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.

  • Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
  • Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
  • Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.

These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.

  1. Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
  2. Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
  3. Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.

Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.

These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.

Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.

Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.

Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
