Building Stockade, Alexandria, Va. (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass design vividly captures the essence of the Union presence in Alexandria, Virginia, during the American Civil War. The artwork centers on a meticulously rendered illustration of a "Building Stockade," a quintessential defensive structure employed by Union forces.

Visual Representation

The central image is a detailed depiction of the stockade itself. Constructed with upright logs, these defensive structures are rendered with textured lines, conveying their rough, practical nature. The design may incorporate elements such as earthworks at the base of the stockade, subtle hints of artillery placements, and perhaps even a Union soldier standing guard, emphasizing the structure's purpose as a frontline defense and access control point.

Symbolism and Meaning

The stockade design represents the strategic importance of Alexandria during the Civil War. It symbolizes the Union's efforts to secure the city, protect vital supply lines, and safeguard the capital, Washington, D.C. The inclusion of subtle details like the Union soldier adds a human element, portraying the everyday realities of the soldiers who defended these structures.

This artwork serves as a historical tribute, honoring Alexandria's role as a fortified stronghold and logistical hub for the Union during a turbulent period in American history. It offers a tangible connection to the past, reminding us of the sacrifices made and the challenges faced during the Civil War.

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.
