Unidentified Soldier In Confederate Uniform With Kepi (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design reproduces a seated portrait of a bearded soldier in a grey military-style jacket, with his kepi resting in his lap.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image follows the look of a 1860s tintype in a cased frame. Dusky grey dominates, taking up the uniform and the man's shadowed figure, while warm gold and pale sepia carry the background and the tones of the photograph itself. A small note of deep red appears in the velvet mat around the picture, the only saturated colour in the scene. The subject sits centred within an ornate oval, and the cap he holds in his lap draws the eye down to the lower part of the composition. There is no text or numerals.

Meaning & Symbolism

The kepi and the uniform are the subject here. Both were standard markers of military service in the mid-nineteenth century, and the formal seated pose and the framed oval reflect the portrait conventions of the period, when a soldier's image was often made to be kept and handed down. The design belongs to the Civil War era and to the body of cased photographs that record how ordinary men dressed and presented themselves for the camera. Its subject is anonymous, which keeps the attention on the uniform and the posture rather than on a story.

On the Ceramic Mug

A mug is turned in the hand, so the oval frame becomes something you encounter as you rotate the cup. Each turn brings the soldier back into view, cap in lap, in the same measured pose. It makes a good conversation piece for anyone who likes their history served with their morning coffee, and a quiet nod to the era for a friend who collects old photographs and enjoys a little cheek with their tea.

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.
