District of Columbia: A Moment in History Captured

This color-changing coffee mug showcases a vivid depiction of Company F of the 3rd Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, positioned at Fort Stevens during the U.S. Civil War. The design transports the viewer back to a pivotal moment in American history, allowing them to visualize the defenders of the Union capital.

A Photographic Representation

The central artwork likely mirrors a historical photograph or illustration. The design presents the officers and enlisted men of Company F, adorned in their period-accurate uniforms. The men are arranged formally, likely posed in front of the formidable fortifications of Fort Stevens, or perhaps near their heavy artillery pieces โ€“ powerful symbols of defense. The presence of these cannons signals the unit's role in the capital's defense during General Jubal Early's 1864 raid.

Color Transformation & Symbolic Meaning

The transformative color aspect of this mug adds a layer of depth to the design. This dynamic feature can symbolically represent the changing fortunes of war. The color transformation could reveal hidden details, further highlighting the symbolism of the unit and its importance in defending the Union. The contrast of the base color with the design is designed to evoke a sense of history and patriotism.

A Tribute to Valor

Overall, the design pays homage to the bravery and dedication of the soldiers of the 3rd Massachusetts Heavy Artillery. By showcasing their likeness and surroundings, the mug serves as a commemorative piece and a visual reminder of the sacrifices made to protect Washington, D.C., during a turbulent period in American history.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (โ‰ˆ330 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 (โ‰ˆ330 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 โ€œmagicโ€ 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 mugโ€™s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only โ€” 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). Itโ€™s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
