Unidentified Sailor In Union Uniform Resting Hand On American Flag-Draped Table In Front Of Painted Backdrop Showing Naval Scene (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A standing sailor in a dark jersey, cap and boots rests his hand on a table draped with the American flag, in front of a painted ship's deck.

Visual Elements & Composition

Warm grey fills most of the picture, with antique gold in the gilt mat and the dark jersey anchoring the figure. The star-and-stripe flag falls across the table, its faded red and stripes running in soft bands. The painted ship's deck behind him shows a cannon, coiled rope and a distant ship, and these details place the sitter on board. The maroon case and rounded-corner mat frame the scene, holding the sailor at the centre.

Meaning & Symbolism

The hand-tinted tintype dates to the 1860s, when studio backdrops could transport a sitter to a warship. The flag is a plain sign of Union patriotism, and the cannon, rope and ship recall the navy that blockaded Southern ports during the war. The sailor is unidentified, so the portrait stands for the many unnamed men who served at sea for the Union. Its relaxed hand and steady gaze show the formal manners of the period.

On the Mixing Glass

A tall, clear mixing glass gives the gilt mat a curved wall to wrap around. The ship's deck and the flag stripes bend along the glass as it is lifted and poured, so the sailor stays in view from every side.

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.
