Brig. Gen C.C. Augur (U.S. Civil War) Color Changing Coffee Mug 11oz - Design Overview

This color-changing coffee mug features a striking design centered around Brigadier General Christopher Columbus Augur, a notable Union officer of the American Civil War. The initial design, when cold, presents a dignified portrait of Augur in his Union Army uniform, complete with his rank insignia. The portrait is framed by a subtle, aged border, giving the impression of a historical photograph.

The mug undergoes a dramatic transformation with heat. As hot liquid is poured into the mug, the background of the image subtly changes, revealing a symbolic battlefield scene. This hidden detail evokes the battles in which Augur fought, representing his service and the sacrifices made during the Civil War. The color shift creates an element of surprise and reveals a hidden layer of the design.

The overall color palette is designed to be evocative of the era. Muted tones and a slightly faded appearance are used to give the design an antique feel, reflecting the history associated with General Augur. The choice of colors allows the portrait of Augur to remain the central focus, while the changing background adds an element of visual interest and further deepens the connection to his legacy.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
