Captain Daniel Turrentine Of Company G, 12th Arkansas Infantry Regiment, In Full Officers' Uniform With Musket (U.S. Civil War) Black Coffee Mug

This is a historical portrait of Captain Daniel Turrentine of Company G, 12th Arkansas Infantry Regiment, shown in full officer's uniform and holding his musket.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is a monochrome tintype portrait, built from soft greys and light greys with dark brown and black in the shadows. The seated young man in a grey military-style coat fills the centre of a rounded-corner rectangular opening, with the rifle and its fixed bayonet held upright beside him. A touch of gold appears in the gilt-edged case that frames the picture, the only warm note in an otherwise restrained palette. Nothing in the composition competes with the figure: the eye goes straight to the face, then down the line of the rifle.

Meaning & Symbolism

The portrait belongs to the 1860s and to the American Civil War, when tintypes like this one were how families kept an image of a man going to war. The musket and bayonet mark the subject as an infantryman, and the officer's coat signals his rank within Company G. Captain Turrentine's regiment, the 12th Arkansas Infantry, places the portrait in one specific unit rather than in the war in general, which is what gives the picture its weight as a record of one person's service.

Designed for the Hand

A mug is turned in the hand as it is drunk from, so the portrait is seen in pieces, the case edge and the rifle passing the eye as the cup rotates. The formal stillness of the pose suits that slow, repeated turning. Each sip brings the captain back into view, stern and upright, a small piece of the past kept close at the desk or the breakfast table.

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.
