Two Unidentified Soldiers, Probably Brothers, In Union Corporal's And Private's Uniforms With Rifle Muskets And Revolvers (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A tintype portrait of two Union soldiers, a corporal and a private, posed with their rifle muskets and revolvers in a hinged gilt case.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sepia brown and dark brown wood dominate the picture, with dark grey firming up the uniforms and antique gold picking out the scalloped frames of the hinged case. A soldier in a kepi sits with a rifle held across his lap, and the monochrome tones give the whole portrait the warm, faded look of an original tintype. The double case itself, with its two gilt frames, is the main structural element of the object.

Meaning & Symbolism

The corporal's and private's uniforms, the rifle muskets and the revolvers record the equipment of Union infantry in the American Civil War, and the stillness of the poses reflects how such portraits were made to be kept. The image is part of the Liljenquist Family Collection of Civil War Photographs held by the Library of Congress, and it was made between 1861 and 1865. The title records the pair as probably brothers, which is the one point the record leaves open.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is held close and turned in the hand as it stirs, so the portrait is seen at arm's length and in fine detail. The clear body carries the sepia tones through whatever is poured, and the gilt frames catch the light as the glass is lifted. A vessel made for close handling suits a picture that was once kept close, in a case held in the hand.

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.
