Unidentified Soldier In Union Uniform In Front Of Painted Backdrop Showing Porch And Terrace (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A seated young man in a grey jacket with red trim poses before a painted porch and balustrade in this hand-tinted tintype.

Visual Elements & Composition

Gold from the scalloped frame and the warm sepia of the print sit against cool grey in the jacket, with a few touches of dark red and rose in the trim and cuff marks. The painted backdrop carries a balustrade and porch lines that run behind the sitter and anchor him in the frame. A rectangular case shape and the scalloped portrait opening frame the figure closely, so the eye settles on the young man's face and the red chevron marks at his cuffs.

Meaning & Symbolism

Painted backdrops of porches and terraces were a standard studio prop of the 1860s, chosen to suggest domestic calm rather than the realities of camp or battle. The Union uniform places the sitter in the Federal army between 1861 and 1865, and the chevron marks on his cuffs point to rank or service. His name and unit were never recorded, which leaves the portrait as one of the many anonymous likenesses that survive from the war.

Holding the Mixing Glass

A pint glass has a tall, curved body that carries a scene all the way around, so the painted porch seems to continue as the glass turns in the hand. The warm gold of the frame suits the glass's clear sides, which let the tones of the print show through.

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.

One size: 16 oz (≈0.47 L). Below are product dimensions to help with shelving, storage, and packaging choices.
