Aquia Creek Landing, Virginia: View From Commissary Department (U.S. Civil War) Tumbler 20oz

This tumbler design transports you back to the heart of the American Civil War, specifically to Aquia Creek Landing in Virginia, a critical logistical hub for the Union Army. The artwork centers on the iconic "View From Commissary Department" image, a photographic record of the landing during the mid-1860s.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design prominently features the waterfront landscape of Aquia Creek Landing. You can see the wharf facilities, a hub of activity where goods and supplies are unloaded and loaded onto ships and boats. The presence of railroad tracks and boxcars signifies the critical link to the interior via the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad.

Soldiers and sailors are interspersed throughout the scene, meticulously processing supplies. Stacks of boxes, a clear indication of military goods, represent the vital role the location played in provisioning the Army of the Potomac. Boats and ships of varying sizes are depicted on the water, emphasizing the importance of river transport for moving supplies north and south.

Meaning & Symbolism

The "View From Commissary Department" design is rich with symbolism. It represents the immense scale of logistical operations needed to sustain a military campaign. The orderly stacks of supplies and the constant activity of men and machines underscore the Union Army's commitment to efficiency and organization. The inclusion of the waterfront and the boats speaks to the importance of the waterways in war time logistics. The scene is a reminder of the human cost and the tireless effort behind the war.

The design, taken as a whole, serves as a poignant reminder of the Civil War's history and the crucial role Aquia Creek Landing played in shaping the outcome of the conflict.

20 oz vacuum-insulated stainless steel tumbler with a glossy exterior, clear push-on lid and rubber gasket. Built for all-day temperature control and everyday knocks — a solid choice for commuters, desks, and on-the-go routines.

The tumbler’s double-wall vacuum core keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold longer than a single-walled cup. Stainless steel resists staining and rust, while the glossy finish makes it easy to wipe clean and gives a polished look on the go.

The clear lid snaps into place and uses a rubber gasket for a dependable seal (not leak-proof if tipped, but very good sitting upright). Rounded edges make the body comfortable to hold; the slimmer lower diameter slips into most cup holders but still feels substantial in hand.

  • Construction: vacuum-insulated, double-wall stainless steel for effective temperature retention.
  • Capacity: 20 oz (≈0.59 L) — room for a generous coffee or a tall iced drink.
  • Lid: clear push-on lid with a rubber gasket for a snug fit and reduced spills while upright.
  • Finish: glossy exterior that cleans easily and shows color well for wraparound prints.
  • Practicality: durable, corrosion-resistant, and suited to daily carrying and travel.

This tumbler is made for real life: commuting, desk days, long errands, and outdoor breaks. Its insulation keeps your drink closer to the temperature you poured in, so it’s handy for slow sippers and long meetings alike.

  1. Commute ready: fits many car cup holders and keeps drinks at serving temperature during travel.
  2. Daily desk cup: reduces trips to the kettle and keeps cold drinks chilled through the afternoon.
  3. Outdoor use: sturdy for picnics, hikes, and casual outdoor work — rinse and reuse without fuss.

Quick tip: if you want a quieter lid, remove the gasket and rinse it separately — it will snap back on without tools.

Dishwasher-safe for convenience, though hand-washing the lid and gasket will keep seals fresh longer. Remove the rubber gasket occasionally to clean the channel — trapped moisture is the usual cause of lingering odors.

Avoid bleach, oven use, and the microwave. If you hand-wash, use warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge; dry fully before storing to prevent trapped moisture. Replacing the gasket after a long period of heavy use helps maintain a tight seal.
