Unidentified Officer, Three-Quarter Length Portrait, Seated, With Left Hand On Sword, Facing Right (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A seated, bearded officer rests his left hand on his sword in this three-quarter length black and white albumen portrait from the 1860s.

Visual Elements & Composition

Mid grey and dark grey carry most of the image, with off-white highlights on the frock coat and the face. The sitter faces right, and his seated figure fills the centre of the frame. A sword rests on a draped table beside a kepi, and a tasselled curtain falls behind them in heavy grey folds. A rectangular black keyline frames the photograph. No text or numerals are visible in the design.

Meaning & Symbolism

The hand on the sword is a long-standing portrait convention, signalling readiness and command rather than action. The military frock coat and the kepi place the sitter within the Union forces of the Civil War years. The albumen print and the draped studio setting reflect the formal portraiture of the 1860s, when officers sat for photographs that would be circulated to families and kept as a record of service. The sitter is not identified, so the image stands for the many officers of that generation whose names were not recorded.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is held close and turned in the hand, so this portrait is seen at arm's length rather than across a room. The seated figure and the draped table sit comfortably within a tall, curved surface, letting the scene read as a complete composition. The stern, composed expression suits a piece that is lifted and looked at often, giving an anonymous officer of the period a place in everyday use.

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.
