Unidentified Cavalry Soldier In Union Frock Coat With Remington New Model Army Revolver (U.S. Civil War) Black Coffee Mug

This design shows a Union cavalryman in his frock coat, holding a Remington New Model Army revolver close to his body in a scene drawn from the American Civil War.

Visual Elements & Composition

Charcoal dominates the image, with the dark wool of the frock coat filling most of the frame. Antique gold takes up the largest share of the remaining space, picked out in the ornate rectangular frame and the warm tones of the portrait. Pale grey lifts the highlights, and a touch of dark maroon sits in the shadows. The soldier is set within an oval vignette, so the eye moves from the face and shoulders down to the revolver, which is the one object placed for the viewer to notice. There is no text or numerals in the composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Remington New Model Army was one of the defining sidearms of the 1860s, and it was carried by cavalrymen who needed a reliable weapon at close quarters. The frock coat marks the wearer as a soldier of the Union army, and the pairing of uniform and revolver stands for the everyday working kit of the mounted soldier rather than battlefield drama. The gilt frame and oval portrait format recall the nineteenth-century photographic portraits that families kept of their men in uniform, which gives the whole piece its feeling of heritage and remembrance.

Tea, Coffee & Cavalry Pride

A mug is a thing you turn in your hands, bringing the image around to face you with each sip, so the portrait keeps its frame and the revolver stays within easy view. It makes a thoughtful pick for the history lover in your life, who will recognise the coat, the sidearm and the period at a glance. Set it on the desk beside the morning coffee and let the Union cavalryman keep you company.

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.
