City Point, Va. Federal Supplies Deposited On The Landing (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A black-and-white photograph of Federal supplies unloaded on the landing at City Point, Virginia, in 1864, with barrels stacked along the wharf and masted ships in the harbour.

Visual Elements & Composition

Mid grey and white share the picture, with black used for the deepest shadows under the stacks and the rigging. Wooden barrels form tall cylinders across the wharf, and rectangular sheds stand behind them. Masted sailing ships fill the harbour in the distance, and a few small steamboats sit among them. Horse-drawn wagons run along a railway siding, and workers move between the piles of cargo.

Meaning & Symbolism

The photograph was taken in 1864 during the Siege of Petersburg, when City Point was the principal supply base for the Union armies around Petersburg and Richmond. The barrels and the wagons show the scale of that work: food, clothing, ammunition and forage were landed here every day. The picture records the logistics that kept an army in the field, and it sits in the Library of Congress collection of Civil War glass negatives.

Cast Your Eye Around the Pint Glass

A pint glass is a tall curved vessel, so the line of the wharf and the stacked barrels can wrap around its sides. The stacked cylinders echo the shape of the glass itself, and the ships on the harbour sit at the far edge as they would from the landing.

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.
