Unidentified Soldier In Union Uniform And Slouch Cap With Bayoneted Musket, Cap Box, Cartridge Box, And Bayonet Scabbard (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design is a historical portrait of an unidentified Union infantryman from the American Civil War, shown in the field gear of his unit and standing with his bayoneted musket ready.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is a monochrome tintype, and its palette sits in cool slate grey and dark olive, warmed by antique gold and touches of dusty pink and dark green-grey. The soldier dominates the frame, upright in a dark uniform with his slouch cap, rifle and bayonet held close to his body. Rounded corners and a rectangular case frame the portrait, the way a period cased photograph would have been kept. The composition is quiet and centred, with no text or numerals competing for attention.

Meaning & Symbolism

The slouch cap marks the move from formal regulation to practical field dress, and the musket with bayonet stands for the standard infantry readiness of the 1860s. The cap box and cartridge box show the weight of supplies each man carried into battle. Taken from the years 1861 to 1865, the portrait belongs to the war's everyday history. The photographer and exact origin are undocumented, and this soldier's name was never recorded, so the image honours the common infantryman and the sacrifice of the many who served anonymously.

Turned in Your Hands

A mug is held and turned, so the scene moves across your view as you drink. The soldier, rifle and gear wrap around the curve of the cup, and each glance reveals a little more of the kit he carried. It makes a fitting companion for slow mornings and long conversations about history, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes their coffee with a side of the Civil War.

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.
