Petersburg, Va. Dead Confederate Soldier, In Trench Beyond A Section Of Chevaux-De-Frise (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A black and white glass-plate photograph records a fallen Confederate soldier lying in a dirt trench at Petersburg, Virginia, with timber stakes of the defensive works behind him.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is entirely monochrome, moving from mid greys in the earth to near black in the trench shadows and off-white at the brightest points. The soldier lies low in the lower part of the frame, and the trench walls rise on either side. Beyond him run the sharpened timber stakes of the chevaux-de-frise and a log revetment along the trench wall, so the defences fill the background. The composition is plain and direct, with no text or numerals visible.

Meaning & Symbolism

The photograph dates from the 1860s and documents the siege of Petersburg, one of the longest and most punishing campaigns of the American Civil War. Chevaux-de-frise were obstacles of pointed timbers set to slow infantry and cavalry, and here they stand as the physical frame of the fighting. The image is a documentary record rather than a heroic one. It asks the viewer to look at the cost of trench warfare and to remember the men who died in the Virginia defensive lines.

Reading the Image on the Pint Glass

A pint glass has a tall, curved wall that wraps the whole picture, so the trench and its stakes run around the body of the glass rather than sitting in a single view. The clear walls keep the grey tones visible, and the design suits a glass that is lifted and set down at the table, where a documentary image can be looked at closely.

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.
