Fort Brady, Va. Battery Of Parrott Guns Manned By Company C, 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

This black-and-white glass-plate photograph shows siege cannons on wheeled carriages, with soldiers standing among them behind a line of earthworks.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is made from light grey, mid grey, dark grey and near black, with the guns standing out as the darkest and most solid shapes. The Parrott guns sit on their wheeled carriages in a row, and the diagonal lines of the battery recede into the distance. Soldiers stand among the pieces, so the men and the weapons share the same scale in the frame. Log and sandbag revetment runs along the front of the battery, and stacked shells sit near the guns, giving the scene its practical, working order.

Meaning & Symbolism

The photograph records a battery of Parrott rifles manned by Company C of the 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery at Fort Brady in Virginia, during the American Civil War. Heavy artillery of this kind was used to hold fortified positions, and the sandbag and log earthwork shows how the defence was built up around the guns. The stacked shells and the men beside the pieces make the battery a record of a unit doing its job at a fort in the 1860s.

Seen at Close Range

A mixing glass is held at arm's length and looked into, which is the distance a row of guns on carriages asks for. The clear sides let the battery and the soldiers show through as the drink moves, and the narrow base keeps the line of guns level in view as the glass is turned.

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.
