Private Raymond Gause or Gouse of Co. B, 22nd Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, in Uniform - Color Morphing Mug Design

This design is a period portrait of Private Raymond Gause, an enlisted Union cavalryman photographed in his authentic uniform during the American Civil War.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is built around a single figure. The soldier and his uniform fill the design, so the eye goes straight to the man and his military dress. The image is taken from a photograph held in the Liljenquist Family Civil War Photographs collection, and it keeps the stiff, formal presence typical of portraits made in that era. The name and regiment are the only text, carried in the design's title.

Meaning & Symbolism

Gause served as a private in Company B of the 22nd Pennsylvania Cavalry, a regiment organized in February 1864. He held the most junior enlisted rank, and his duties included reconnaissance and skirmishing in the Shenandoah Valley and West Virginia during the war's final year. The spelling of his surname shifts between Gause, Gouse and Ganse, which reflects how clerks recorded names in that period rather than any confusion about the man himself. The design stands for the rank-and-file trooper, whose service would otherwise go unrecorded beyond a line in a roster.

On the Color Morphing Mug

A mug is held in the hand and turned slowly, so the portrait is seen up close, a little at a time. The design is hidden when the mug is cold and comes up as a hot drink is poured in, so Private Gause appears only once the cup has warmed. The C-shaped handle sits beside the portrait, leaving the face clear to view. The mug suits anyone who keeps a history buff's shelf or wants a personal tribute to a relative who served, and it gives a morning coffee a little more to think about.

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.
