Unidentified Soldier In Union Uniform And Slouch Hat 002 (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design is a historical portrait of an anonymous young man who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, shown in a wide-brimmed slouch hat and dark buttoned coat.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is built around warm gold tones, which fill roughly a third of the picture and frame the figure like an old tintype set in an embossed gilt case. Dark charcoal and pale grey carry the uniform and the soft shading of the photograph, while dusky rose and dark brown add quiet warmth to the edges. A shaped gilt mat opening sits within a rectangular case, and a circle-chain border runs around it, so the eye settles on the face and the hat brim before anything else.

Meaning & Symbolism

The dark blue-era uniform marks his allegiance to the Northern states, the Union cause that fought to hold the nation together between 1861 and 1865. The slouch hat tells a different story: unlike the rigid forage cap, it was a practical, soft-brimmed choice for the weather and hard marching of the field, and it stands for the moment a civilian became a soldier. Photographs like this one survive without names, and that is precisely their power. They put a face on the millions of men who served, not just the generals and politicians who dominate the history books, and they remind us how many lives the war touched.

Made for the Hand That Holds It

A mug is turned in the hand and studied up close, so this portrait meets you at the right distance: the gilt frame wraps around the cup's curve, and the soldier's gaze drifts into view with every sip. It is a quiet, reflective companion for a slow morning, and a thoughtful talking point for anyone who appreciates history told through ordinary faces.

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.
