Unidentified Soldier In Union Artillery Uniform Standing Next To Pedestal Holding Revolver And American Flag (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

This tintype shows a standing soldier in a dark military-style jacket beside a fluted pedestal, with a revolver at his belt and an American flag behind him.

Visual Elements & Composition

Brass gold and charcoal dominate the palette, with pale grey highlights and a faded red in the stripes of the flag. The sitter stands upright in the centre of an oval vignette, his buttoned jacket filling much of the frame. The fluted pedestal rises at his side, and the flag hangs in the backdrop, its red and white stripes setting up a clear contrast. The rectangular gilt case around the image gives the portrait a formal finish.

Meaning & Symbolism

The pose and props make a patriotic statement. The flag stands for the Union cause, and the revolver at the belt identifies the wearer as a fighting man of the American Civil War. The fluted pedestal is a classic studio prop that gives a sitter stature and an air of permanence. Portraits like this one, made between 1861 and 1865, were often commissioned by soldiers who wanted a dignified image to send home.

A Standing Figure in the Hand

A pint-sized mixing glass is lifted and held upright, much as this tintype is held up to the light to be seen. Its tall, narrow form echoes the upright pedestal, and the clear sides let the brass and charcoal tones show through. The glass also serves as an everyday tumbler or a shaker, a practical versatility that matches the plain, enduring purpose of a keepsake portrait.

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.
