The Children Of The Battle Field (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

Three young siblings sit side by side in a sepia carte-de-visite portrait from 1865, their names printed on the card beneath them.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sepia cream fills most of the card, with dark brown in the children's clothing and warm grey in the shadows of the wooden chair. Off white forms a border around the picture, and the names Frank, Frederick and Alice are printed along its lower edge. The three children are seated close together, arranged from the eldest to the youngest, so the composition reads as a family group held in a single, quiet row.

Meaning & Symbolism

The photograph was made in 1865 by the Philadelphia firm Wenderoth, Taylor & Brown, and it shows the Humiston children, whose father, Sergeant Amos Humiston of the 154th New York Infantry, fell at Gettysburg in July 1863. A small ambrotype of the children was found clutched in his hands, and it became the only means of identifying him. The story of that portrait, told in the press that autumn, moved the public to find his family, and the image still stands for the cost of the war to the families left behind.

Held in a Curved Hand

A pint glass wraps a tall, curved wall, so the row of three children bends around the glass as it is lifted, and the sepia tones glow through the clear body. The image rewards a slow turn of the glass, so each child can be seen in turn as the drink is raised.

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.

One size: 16 oz (≈0.47 L). Below are product dimensions to help with shelving, storage, and packaging choices.
