Unidentified Soldier In Confederate Frock Coat And Forage Cap With Cap Box, Bayoneted Musket, And Holstered Revolver (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design is a sepia-toned portrait of a standing Confederate soldier, rendered in the manner of a 1860s tintype, with his musket and revolver ready at his side.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sepia grey dominates the image, with antique gold in the framing and a dark brown shadow that anchors the figure. A small note of crimson appears among the tones. The soldier stands at the centre in a frock coat and forage cap, and the composition builds outward from him: a cross-body leather strap and cartridge box belt cut across his chest, the cap box hangs at his hip, and the bayoneted musket rises beside him. The gilt scalloped frame encloses the scene like a period photograph's mount, giving the whole piece a formal, documentary stillness.

Meaning & Symbolism

The tintype was the everyday portrait of the Civil War years, the image a soldier sat for before leaving home or sent back to a family waiting for news. Every accoutrement here is a working piece of kit: the cap box for percussion caps, the bayoneted musket for close combat, the holstered revolver for the officer's or cavalryman's close defence. Together they describe the ordinary equipment of a young Confederate man in 1863. The soldier remains unnamed, which makes him stand for the many thousands whose faces survive without their stories.

Designed for the Turn of the Hand

A mug is held and turned, so the portrait reveals itself a section at a time as the cup moves. The frame's scalloped edge follows the curve of the wall, and the soldier's upright figure sits comfortably against the rounded body. Pick it up for a morning coffee and the musket and cartridge belt will be the first things you notice, then the gold border that curls around the rim.

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.
