The Washington Navy Yard, located in Washington, D.C., is a historic naval facility with significant historical importance dating back to the early 19th century. During the U.S. Civil War, one notable event associated with the yard was the detention of Edman Spangler, a conspirator involved in the plot to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. Edman Spangler was a member of a group known as the Confederate Secret Service, who planned the assassination of President Lincoln and other government officials. On March 25, 1865, he was arrested in Washington, D.C., along with several others for their involvement in this conspiracy. After his arrest, Spangler was held at the Washington Navy Yard. He was manacled, or restrained using handcuffs and leg irons, as a precautionary measure during his imprisonment. The Washington Navy Yard served as a temporary detention facility for these conspirators before they were transferred to military tribunals for trial. Following the conclusion of the trials, four conspirators, including Mary Surratt (the first woman executed by the U.S. federal government) and Lewis Powell (who attempted to assassinate Secretary of State William Seward), were hanged on July 7, 1865. The events surrounding these conspirators' involvement in the plot to assassinate President Lincoln are a significant part of U.S. Civil War history.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
