Capt. John D. Ritter, Union Officer In The 32nd Indiana Regiment, Full-Length Portrait, Standing, Facing Front (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

This 1860s carte de visite shows Captain John D. Ritter of the 32nd Indiana Regiment standing full-length in military dress, a sabre at his side, facing the camera.

Visual Elements & Composition

The print is entirely monochrome, with light grey in the backdrop, dark grey in the military coat, and black in the deepest folds and the patterned rug. The standing figure fills the rectangular card, holding the sabre upright. An ornate carved wooden chair sits to one side, and its dark curves give the portrait a structured, formal rhythm.

Meaning & Symbolism

Ritter was a German immigrant who settled in Evansville, Indiana, and rose from second lieutenant to captain, promoted for valor by May 1863. He led Company B and was killed at the Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863. The sabre and uniform mark his commission and the Union cause he served, and the portrait stands as a lasting record of a short life given to the war. It also reflects the contribution of German-American soldiers to the Union army.

In the Hand, at Eye Level

A pint glass wraps a tall, curved surface, so the standing figure reads as a tall column that turns with the glass as it is lifted. The narrower base brings the rug and chair closest to the eye, while the sabre and head rise toward the rim. A full-length portrait like this one is best seen as the glass is held up and turned.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
