Belle Plain, Va. Army Wagons And Transports At The Lower Landing (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A busy 19th-century photograph of the Union supply landing at Belle Plain, Virginia, with wagons and river transports crowding the shore.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is built from pale grey and mid grey, with dark olive grey on the hillside and charcoal in the darker details. Steamboats and barges sit along the river landing, and covered wagons are drawn up on the slope above. Rows of white canvas tents stretch across the middle distance, and horses graze near the shore. The rectangular frame with its dark border holds the whole scene, so the eye moves from the water to the wagons and on to the tents.

Meaning & Symbolism

Belle Plain was a landing on the Potomac River, and in 1864 it served the Union Army as a point where troops, rations, ammunition and artillery came ashore. The wagons waiting on the hill carried those supplies inland to the advancing armies. The Union relied on this river route to bypass exposed overland roads through Virginia, so the scene records the organisation behind the campaigns of that year rather than the fighting itself.

Taken Up by the Glass

A mixing glass is lifted and tipped as it is poured, so this crowded landing is seen at close range and turned in the hand. The tall, narrow sides of this 16oz vessel suit the long sweep of the shoreline, and the clear glass lets the pale greys of the river and sky show through as the drink is stirred.

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.
