Morris Island Siege: A Design in Glass

This pint glass commemorates the pivotal role of Morris Island during the American Civil War, specifically the strategic placement of Union artillery in Fort Putnam. The design transports the viewer back to the siege of Charleston, embodying the ingenuity and firepower of the Union forces.

A Glimpse of History

The central design showcases the “Battery of 100-Pounder Parrott Guns inside Fort Putnam.” This powerfully rendered image depicts the imposing rifled cannons, strategically positioned within the earthen and masonry fortifications of Fort Putnam. The placement of the guns implies dominance and the intent to bombard Confederate defenses. The presentation of these cannons pays homage to the engineering and tactical planning that defined the Civil War.

Symbolism of Strength and Strategy

The design, with its detailed depiction of the artillery battery, symbolizes the Union’s strategic tenacity during the siege. The Parrott guns, a technological marvel of their time, represent the cutting-edge weaponry employed to break through Confederate defenses. The glass itself, serving as a vessel, holds the promise of the past, connecting to the history of the island and the men who fought there.

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.
