Unidentified Soldier In Confederate Uniform And Round Hat With Baby Colt Dragoon Revolver And D-Guard Bowie Knife (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design presents a Confederate soldier in uniform and round hat, posed with the revolver and knife he carried into the American Civil War.

Visual Elements & Composition

The palette is built from sepia grey, which covers most of the image, with antique gold picking out the metalwork and charcoal deepening the shadows. Small touches of dusty rose and dark brown add warmth to the uniform and the surrounding frame. The composition follows the look of a tintype photograph, with a scalloped oval opening and a rectangular case framing the figure. The soldier stands at the centre, the revolver held at his side and the knife with its curved guard raised in the other hand, so the two weapons form the strongest lines in the picture.

Meaning & Symbolism

The figure is an unidentified soldier, so the image speaks for a type rather than a named man: the ordinary Confederate fighter of the 1860s. The Baby Colt Dragoon was a compact revolver that many soldiers carried as a sidearm, and the Bowie knife, with its D-shaped guard, was the close-quarters blade of the frontier and the battlefield alike. Together they tell the story of what a soldier carried on his person, the everyday kit of a conflict that shaped American history. The gilt-framed tintype format ties the image to the era of personal portraiture, when a soldier might sit for his likeness before going to war.

Made for Daily Coffee Ritual

A mug is a small canvas turned slowly in the hand, so every rotation brings a different part of the scene into view: the soldier's face, then the revolver, then the knife. Morning coffee gives this piece a quiet audience of one, and the tintype styling suits a mug that spends its days on a desk or kitchen counter, where the details can be read at leisure. It is an object for history lovers who enjoy a bit of cheek with their caffeine, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who collects Civil War ephemera.

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.
