Private Archibald Magill Smith Of Co. F, 1st Virginia Cavalry Regiment, And Co. D, 6th Virginia Cavalry Regiment, In Uniform (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A young Virginia cavalryman sits for a portrait in his enlisted uniform, framed in an oval window set inside a gilt case.

Visual Elements & Composition

The portrait is a tintype, and its tones are muted greys and dark slate, with the eye drawn to the gold of the surrounding case. The sitter wears a forage cap with a crossed-ornament insignia and a light work jacket. The oval opening sits at the centre of the composition, and the case around it carries floral scrollwork and a hinged clasp. The gold border frames the face and shoulders tightly, leaving the rest of the design to the stillness of the pose.

Meaning & Symbolism

The name in the title ties this portrait to two Confederate cavalry regiments from Virginia, the 1st and the 6th, which fought in the Eastern Theater. The uniform is that of an enlisted private, with no rank marks, and the gilt case shows the care a family took in keeping a likeness of a son or brother who went to war. The image records one individual among the many who served, and it keeps his face in view.

Carried Close, Looked At Closely

This mixing glass has a tall, narrow body with a curved wall, and it is held close and tilted as the drink is poured. A tintype rewards that same nearness, since the fine details of the cap, the jacket and the scrollwork show only at close range. Seen from the side of the glass, the gilt frame and the young face sit together as a single, quiet portrait.

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.
