Private Silas York Of Co. F, 5th Illinois Cavalry Regiment, With Single Shot Percussion Pistol, Lefaucheux Revolver, And Sword (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A seated Union trooper in a dark blue uniform holds a revolver, a sword with a knot grip resting beside him, in a hand-coloured tintype from the 1860s.

Visual Elements & Composition

Navy dominates the uniform, balanced by cream and soft grey in the setting and the brass buckle of a leather cross belt. Charcoal picks out the sword and the revolver, which sit close to the figure's hands. The image is cropped to an oval, set on an oval mat, so the trooper and his weapons are the entire subject. The layout is compact and centred, with nothing outside the oval to compete for attention.

Meaning & Symbolism

Private Silas York served in Company F of the 5th Illinois Cavalry during the American Civil War. The three weapons show the range a mounted soldier of the period had to carry: a single-shot percussion pistol, a Lefaucheux revolver built for self-contained pinfire cartridges, and the sword used for hand-to-hand work. Carrying them together reflects the shifting firearm technology of the war, when caplock and newer designs were in service side by side.

A Cavalry Sitter on a Pint Glass

A mixing glass is tall and narrow, so the seated trooper reads as an upright figure, the way a glass stands on the table. Its clear body lets the navy and brass of the uniform show through when it is held to the light. The glass is turned in the hand, so the sword and revolver move in and out of view.

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.
