Fairfax Court House, Virginia. Capt. J.B. Howard, A.Q.M. And Group At Headquarters, Army Of The Potomac (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

This design is a black and white camp portrait of eight uniformed men gathered outside the headquarters tents at Fairfax Court House, Virginia.

Visual Elements & Composition

The photograph is built from off-white, mid grey and dark grey, with the light tones of the canvas and the dark of the uniforms setting the contrast. A large conical tent dominates the background, with smaller tents behind it, and a row of men stands in the middle ground. Folding camp chairs and a metal coffee pot on a small table sit in the foreground, giving the scene an everyday, unposed feel. The wet-plate look and the soft edges of the group give the whole frame a documentary quality.

Meaning & Symbolism

The men are staff officers and attendants at the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, and the portrait names Capt. J.B. Howard, Assistant Quartermaster, as a central figure. Quartermasters handled the supplies, transport and camp logistics that kept an army in the field, so the picture records the administrative side of the war as much as its combat. Group photographs such as this one were made to fix the personnel of a headquarters at a particular moment in the Virginia campaign.

A Mug of Camp Life

A pint glass is lifted and set down often, and its clear sides give the grey-toned scene a clean edge when it is held at the table. The camp chairs and coffee pot in the foreground suit a vessel meant for pouring and sharing. It brings a headquarters gathering from Fairfax Court House into an ordinary evening.

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.
