Unidentified Soldier In Union Uniform And Company C Hat With Bayoneted Musket, Revolver, Knife, And Cap Box (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design is a tintype-style portrait of a Union infantryman from the American Civil War, shown fully equipped for duty.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sepia grey fills almost half the image, with antique gold and dark navy giving the scene its weight. The soldier sits within an oval portrait framed by a gilt case, so the eye moves from the frame inward to the figure. His kepi carries the Company C insignia, and a US belt plate and crossbelt with a circular plate are visible at his waist. A bayoneted musket runs alongside him, with the revolver, knife and cap box arranged around his gear.

Meaning & Symbolism

The musket with bayonet was the main infantry weapon of the conflict, which makes it the clearest statement of the soldier's role. The revolver and knife show a man prepared for close fighting, and the cap box points to the everyday logistics of loading a rifle in the field. The Company C marking places him within a regiment, while the missing name reflects the many thousands of Civil War servicemen photographed without individual record. The image is a catalogue of 1860s military life, and it stands for the anonymous men who carried it.

Why It Works on a Mug

A mug is held close and turned slowly in the hand, so the portrait reveals itself a little at a time. The oval frame suits the mug's curved wall, and the figure stays readable from every side. Each morning the soldier comes into view, a quiet reminder of the history behind your first cup.

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.
