The Gun Jeff Davis, Identified As A Rodman Smooth Bore Gun In Port Royal, South Carolina (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A black-and-white photograph from the 1860s shows a large iron Rodman smooth-bore cannon on a wooden carriage, set before a brick fortification wall.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is entirely grey, from light grey on the barrel's surface to dark grey in the shadowed timbers and wall. The cylindrical barrel runs across the frame and dominates it, with its muzzle end and iron elevating rod clearly visible. The rectangular timber carriage and circular platform base give the gun a solid, low silhouette. Behind it, the brick fortification wall fills the background, and a numeral, 796, is visible on the piece.

Meaning & Symbolism

The gun is a Rodman smooth-bore, a heavy seacoast cannon designed by U.S. Army ordnance officer Thomas Jackson Rodman. Its smooth interior was built to fire heavy shot and shells against ships rather than for long-range rifled fire. The name Jeff Davis refers to the Confederate president, and the photograph records a piece of coastal defence at Port Royal, South Carolina, which Union forces captured in November 1861. The cannon stands as an artifact of that early campaign and of the engineering behind Civil War harbour defences.

Mounted on the Glass

A mixing glass is tall and narrows toward a solid base, which gives the cannon's long barrel a close match in outline. The image runs up the curved body of the vessel, and the gun's low carriage sits near the base as the glass is lifted and 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.
