Unidentified African American Soldier In Union Uniform In Front Of Painted Backdrop Showing Military Camp (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A seated soldier in a dark military-style jacket with brass buttons poses with a rifle before a painted camp scene, in a hand-tinted tintype from the 1860s.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark brown leads the palette, with antique gold in the gilt case and muted grey-green and dusty red in the backdrop. A touch of pink velvet from the lining of the hinged case frames the image. The sitter occupies a rounded-rectangle opening inside a rectangular case, and a partly visible striped flag runs behind him. The brass buttons and the round badge on the jacket catch the eye, and the rifle lies across his body to give the pose its steady line.

Meaning & Symbolism

The portrait shows a Union soldier, and the rifle, uniform and striped flag mark his service in the American Civil War. Many African American men served in the Union army during the conflict, and portraits like this one recorded that service with dignity. The painted camp backdrop is a studio convention of the period, and the sitter's name is not recorded, so the image speaks for the many men whose service is kept in the collections of the era.

Held Close in the Hand

A mixing glass is held close and lifted as it is poured, so the portrait is seen at a short distance, the way a tintype in a case is meant to be viewed. The rounded opening suits the curve of the glass, and the gold case edges catch the light as the glass is turned.

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.
