Col. T. W. Higginson, Commander Of The 1st Sc Volunteers (The First African American Regiment) (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A sepia studio portrait of an elderly man in a tweed suit and striped tie, presented as Colonel T. W. Higginson, commander of the 1st South Carolina Volunteers.

Visual Elements & Composition

Warm sepia tan and cream tones fill the vertical cabinet card, with dark brown and near-black shadows setting the sitter apart. He sits centred in the frame, his suit and striped tie rendered in soft tonal contrast. A decorative border surrounds the card, and the studio imprint along its lower edge reads Notman Photographic Co., Limited, with a Boston address.

Meaning & Symbolism

The 1st South Carolina Volunteers was recognised as the first African American regiment of the Civil War, and its commander is the figure this portrait honours. The cabinet card format was a common way to keep a likeness of a public figure in the family album, and the sepia tone places the picture firmly in the 1880s, long after the war ended.

Set Against the Glass

A pint glass is a tall, curved surface, so the seated figure is seen at a slight angle as the image wraps around the drink. The clear walls let the warm sepia tones glow through the liquid, and the portrait sits on the table as a quiet tribute to the regiment's leadership.

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.
