Private Thomas Mccreary Of Co. E, 3rd Kentucky Cavalry Regiment, In A Columbus Depot Jacket And Holding A Book (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A seated Union cavalryman in a Columbus Depot jacket holds an open book, his portrait preserved in a gilt tintype case from the 1860s.

Visual Elements & Composition

Gold, grey and dark brown dominate the portrait, with a touch of cream in the highlights. The sitter's dark coat fills the lower half of the image, and the open book is held up at the centre, where it draws the eye. The rounded rectangular frame and the gilt case, embossed with scrollwork, give the piece a formal, enclosed look.

Meaning & Symbolism

Private Thomas McCreary served in Company E of the 3rd Kentucky Cavalry during the American Civil War, a Union unit raised in the border state of Kentucky. The Columbus Depot jacket marks him as a soldier equipped through the Union supply system. Soldiers of the period sat for professional portraits to mark their service, and the book he holds sets the image apart from a plain military record, showing him as a man with his own choice of what to be seen with.

A Portrait Held in the Hand

A mixing glass is tall and held close, so the portrait is viewed much as the gilt case would be, at the level of the eye. The clear sides echo the framed oval of the tintype. Each time the glass is lifted, the cavalryman's steady pose comes into view at close range.

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.
