Unidentified Soldier In Union Uniform With 15th New York Engineer Regiment Forage Cap (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

This hand-coloured tintype shows a seated young soldier in a dark wool military jacket, holding his kepi, set within a gilt oval mat and embossed brass frame.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark brown fills the jacket and the surrounding ground, with warm gold in the ornate frame and the gilt oval mat. Teal and dusty rose have been added by hand to the lighter areas, and charcoal sets the deepest tones. The oval portrait is the centre of the composition, with the rectangular case frame around it. The kepi is held in the soldier's hands, a clear point of detail that draws the eye to the cap.

Meaning & Symbolism

The cap is the focus of the image. The title names the 15th New York Engineer Regiment, so the forage cap places the subject in that Union engineering unit. The soldier himself is not identified, which makes the portrait a representative study of an ordinary member of the regiment, showing the uniform and insignia of the period. The hand-colouring adds a warmth that a plain print lacks.

In the Hand, at Close Range

A pint glass sits close to the hand, and the portrait is seen at close range as the glass is lifted. The curved wall wraps the oval frame around the glass, so the gold and the teal turn with the drink. The clear sides let the dark jacket and the cap show through the liquid.

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.
