Unidentified Soldier In Confederate Uniform With Berdan's Sharps Rifle And Colt 1862 Police Model Pistol (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design renders a Confederate soldier of the American Civil War as a tintype-style photograph, with his rifle and sidearm placed in full view.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sepia grey covers roughly half the image and sets the tone, with gold accents picking out the gilt framing and dark brown deepening the shadows of the uniform and hat. The soldier wears a slouch hat and holds a Berdan's Sharps rifle, while a Colt 1862 Police Model revolver is tucked into his belt, both rendered with sharp, careful detail. The layout follows the look of an oval tintype set inside a rectangular embossed case, so the figure sits at the centre of a framed photograph rather than a loose illustration.

Meaning & Symbolism

The soldier stands for the citizen-soldier of the 1860s, equipped with the specific hardware of his day. The Berdan's Sharps was a precision breech-loading rifle prized by sharpshooters, and the Colt 1862 Police was a compact, practical sidearm, so together they signal both skill and readiness. The photographic treatment places the figure in the documentary tradition of wartime portraiture, when soldiers sat for images before leaving home, and the design's serious mood keeps the focus on the man and his weapons rather than on drama.

Made for Daily Ritual

A mug is turned in the hand and read at close range, so the framed portrait wraps around the cup as the drinker rotates it, bringing the rifle and pistol into view one slice at a time. It makes a thoughtful choice for a history enthusiast or a Civil War reenactor who likes their morning coffee with a little period detail.

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.
