Washington, D.C., 1865 - Michael O'Laughlen, One of the Lincoln Assassination Conspirators (U.S. Civil War) Michael O'Laughlen was an Irish-born American citizen who served as a Confederate soldier during the U.S. Civil War. He is particularly known for his role in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865, making him one of the conspirators involved in this historic event. Born around 1837 in County Tipperary, Ireland, O'Laughlen immigrated to the United States as a child and eventually settled in St. Louis, Missouri. He served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, being captured by Union forces in 1864 and imprisoned at Fort Warren on Georges Island in Boston Harbor until early 1865. After his release from prison, O'Laughlen reunited with John Wilkes Booth, who was planning to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. On April 14, 1865, Booth carried out the assassination at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., and O'Laughlen is believed to have aided Booth by helping him escape the city after the crime. In the days following the assassination, O'Laughlen fled to Canada and then to England, where he was eventually captured by British authorities in 1867. Extradited back to the United States, O'Laughlen stood trial for his involvement in the conspiracy. He was found guilty and sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment due to a technicality regarding the jury's verdict. O'Laughlen spent the rest of his days behind bars at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas off the coast of Florida, where he died on March 21, 1876. The life and actions of Michael O'Laughlen serve as a reminder of the tumultuous events that surrounded the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln during one of America's darkest periods, the U.S. Civil War.

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.

These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.

They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.

  • Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
  • Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
  • Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.

These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.

  1. Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
  2. Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
  3. Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.

Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.

These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.

Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.

Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.

Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
