Morris Island (Vicinity), South Carolina. The Marsh Battery Or Swamp Angel After The Explosion, August 22, 1863 001 (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A black and white photograph records the wreckage of the Union Swamp Angel battery after its gun burst on 22 August 1863, the scene framed in pale greys and charcoal.

Visual Elements & Composition

Pale grey dominates the frame, with mid and dark grey shadows pressing in from the edges. A low rectangular earthwork of sandbags runs across the image, and a mounted cannon sits in the ruin with its barrel broken and scattered debris around it. Soldiers stand and shelter at the sandbag works, one with a rifle held upright on the rampart. Tall marsh grass fills the foreground and softens the lower edge of the picture.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Swamp Angel was a heavy Parrott rifle set up in the marshes of Morris Island during the Union siege of Charleston. Its purpose was to bombard Fort Sumter and pressure the Confederate port city. The gun failed on its thirty-sixth shot, and the photograph captures what remained of the emplacement. The ruined battery shows how hard it was to mount heavy artillery on unstable marshland under fire, and how little margin rifled ordnance of the 1860s had.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is held close and turned in the hand, so this image is read at arm's length, the way a photograph is studied across a table. Its clear sides let the sandbags and marsh grass show through the drink.

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.
