Unidentified Soldier In South Carolina Militia Uniform With Sword And Pistols (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A seated soldier in a 19th-century military dress uniform holds a sabre hilt, shown in a sepia tintype with gold aiguillettes on his shoulder.

Visual Elements & Composition

The figure sits within an oval vignette, the charcoal navy of his dress coat filling the middle of the frame. Gold catches the eye at the shoulders and in the case frame, lifting the otherwise sober grey and black. Rose pink shows faintly in the trim, a small warm note against the cooler tones. The sabre hilt is held close to the body, so the composition is compact and centred, with the case edges forming a rectangle around the oval.

Meaning & Symbolism

Gold aiguillettes were the mark of formal dress for staff and officers, and they signal a rank and a ceremonial role within the militia. South Carolina militia units were the state's own armed companies, and their uniforms expressed local pride as well as military duty. The sabre and the pistols belong to the same tradition of armed readiness. The subject is unnamed, so the portrait speaks for the militiamen of the region rather than one identified officer.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is held upright and turned slowly in the hand, so the oval portrait is seen close and at an angle. The gold shoulder details catch the light through the clear sides as the glass is stirred, and the dark uniform gives the glass a strong, steady centre.

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.
