Captain George W. Hackworth Of Co. F, 1st Virginia Cavalry Regiment, In Uniform With Sword (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design is a hand-tinted portrait of Captain George W. Hackworth of Company F, 1st Virginia Cavalry Regiment, seated and posed in his uniform with his sword.

Visual Elements & Composition

The composition is built around the seated officer, a bearded man in a grey military-style jacket with his sabre laid across his lap. A star-shaped belt buckle and a crossbelt sling mark his uniform, and draped cloth fills the lower part of the frame. The palette is muted and earthy: warm grey dominates, with tan gold, dark brown, and muted sage around the edges and a touch of deep maroon. An arched window mat frames the figure inside a rectangular case, the layout of a hand-tinted tintype.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sabre, buckle, and sling are the marks of a cavalry officer, and together they identify Hackworth's rank and unit as clearly as a name plate would. Tintypes of this kind were made in the 1860s, when the portrait itself served as the record of a man who had gone to war. Hand-tinting added colour to a sober, documentary image, so the portrait keeps the formality of its era while giving the face and uniform a warmer presence.

Why It Suits a Mug

A mug is turned in the hand, and the portrait moves with it. The arched mat and the officer's seated pose read as one scene from the handle side, then the face comes round as the cup is lifted. It is a quiet, slightly cheeky way to keep a Civil War officer close to the morning coffee, and a thoughtful choice for anyone who likes their history served hot.

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.
