Unidentified Soldier In Union Frock Coat And Havelock Hat Combination With Bayoneted Model 1842 Musket, Knife, And Colt Revolver (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design reproduces a 1860s tintype portrait of an unidentified Union soldier, standing in his frock coat and havelock hat with his full loadout of musket, knife and revolver.

Visual Elements & Composition

The photograph sits inside an embossed gilt case, and the gold frame dominates the image, with antique gold making up the largest share of the palette. Against it, the grey of the uniform and the pale grey backdrop keep the soldier clear and central, while dusky rose and near black add depth at the edges. The oval portrait opening frames the figure within a rectangular case, and the embossing around it carries US flags, a sailing ship and an artillery wheel. The words CONSTITUTION and AND UNION appear on the case itself.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblems on the frame speak to the Union cause: flags for the nation, a ship for the navy, and artillery for the arm that held the field. The havelock hat, with its cloth neck cover, and the standard-issue frock coat identify this as Union dress of the war years. The Model 1842 musket, fitted with a bayonet, sits alongside a knife and a Colt revolver, a combination that shows how soldiers of the period carried long arms and personal sidearms together. The image records one man's equipment rather than a named individual, and it preserves how a Civil War soldier looked when armed for service.

Made for the Morning Cup

A mug is turned in the hand, so the portrait reveals itself in stages. The oval opening comes into view as the cup is lifted, and the figure stands alone as you rotate it. The gilt embossing catches the light with each turn, so the piece reads like a small object from a family album rather than a poster on the wall. It makes a warm, slightly cheeky conversation starter for anyone who loves a good history detail with their coffee.

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.
