Unidentified Soldier In Union Uniform With 6th Corps Of The Army Of The Potomac Badge (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design reproduces a 1860s tintype-style portrait of a young Union soldier, set within an oval and framed by an ornate case.

Visual Elements & Composition

The palette is built from warm, aged tones: antique gold dominates, with sepia brown carrying the portrait and charcoal anchoring the darkest passages. Pale cream lifts the highlights, and dark wood brown gives the whole scene the depth of an old photographic case. The soldier sits centred in an oval, wearing a dark buttoned jacket, while a light cross insignia on his chest draws the eye straight to the corps badge. Around the oval runs a rectangular case frame decorated with floral scrollwork, so the image reads as a framed keepsake rather than a flat print.

Meaning & Symbolism

The cross badge identifies the 6th Corps of the Army of the Potomac, one of the principal Union formations of the American Civil War. Insignia like this told comrades and officers which unit a man served with, so the badge carries the whole history of the regiment in a single shape. The soldier himself remains unidentified, which makes the portrait a representative figure of the many young men who wore the uniform. The ornate frame and tintype styling place the image in its era, turning a military record into a commemorative object.

Turning the Story in Your Hands

A mug is a thing you hold, turn and return to, and this portrait rewards that habit. As the cup rotates, the oval frame comes round to meet you, and the cross badge catches the eye with each turn. Morning coffee becomes a quiet moment of study, a fitting pairing for anyone who loves history, the stories of ordinary soldiers, or a good old-fashioned keepsake with a little character.

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.
