The vertical cartouche suits the upright body of the mug, letting the shield and crown sit at eye level for the drinker who holds it close to the face. It is a quiet piece of heritage for a morning coffee or an evening cup of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":48926955700504,"sku":"52303970946874372670","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":48926955733272,"sku":"11780770263043759778","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/16818230790773799836_2048.jpg?v=1768165544"},{"product_id":"coat-of-arms-of-the-socialist-republic-of-croatia-frosted-pint-glass-16oz","title":"Coat of Arms of the Socialist Republic of Croatia - Frosted Pint Glass 16oz","description":"\u003ch1\u003eCoat of Arms of the Socialist Republic of Croatia - Frosted Pint Glass 16oz\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design shows the mid-twentieth-century arms of the Socialist Republic of Croatia, a gold wheat wreath around a red checkerboard shield and a five-pointed star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVisual Elements \u0026amp; Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold dominates the composition, forming an oval wreath of wheat with crossed sheaves below and sunrise rays behind. Inside the wreath, a red and white checkerboard shield rests over blue waves, while a red five-pointed star with a gold border crowns the top. A grey industrial base anchors the bottom. The shapes are flat and vector-clean, and the layout is circular and symmetrical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emblem was adopted after the Second World War, when Croatia served as one of the constituent republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The star stands for socialist ideology and working-class solidarity, while the wheat and sheaves speak to agricultural prosperity and collective labour. The waves recall the Adriatic coast. The checkerboard, the long-standing emblem of pre-socialist Croatia, is set within the wider federal design, so the arms mark a deliberate shift in the nation's identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWrapped Around the Pint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pint glass offers a tall, curved surface, so the circular wreath and star wrap around the glass as one unbroken ring. Lifting the glass turns the checkerboard and waves into view in sequence, with the gold rays catching the light. The frosted finish gives the gold and red a semi-translucent quality, suiting the formal, historic character of the emblem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz \/ Frosted","offer_id":48926978244888,"sku":"17211810523562923901","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/coat-of-arms-of-the-socialist-republic-of-croatia-frosted-pint-glass-16oz-16oz-frosted-position1_dd731515-404a-4908-a7eb-d5594fc167d3.webp?v=1760816667"}],"url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/collections\/croatia.oembed?page=31","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
