Arms of Berkshire County Council 1974-1998 (England) - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the heraldic achievement of the Berkshire County Council, as it appeared between 1974 and 1998. The design is a powerful statement of the county's identity, brimming with symbolism that reflects its history and character.

The Shield (Arms)

The central element is the shield, its azure (blue) field dominated by two golden lions passant guardant (walking and looking at the viewer). Both lions are crowned with ancient gold crowns, signifying royalty and historical significance. These central charges are contained within a bordure embattled ermine (a white border dotted with black), adding a further layer of prestige and denoting authority.

The Crest

Rising above the shield is the crest, depicting a stag at gaze (looking directly forward) atop a verdant mount, set within a mural crown ermine (a castle-like crown). Behind the stag is a hollow oak tree, a natural emblem. The stag represents the forest, while the mural crown hints at civic responsibility and governance.

The Supporters

Flanking the shield are two supporters. On the dexter (right) side, a red lion, representing strength and courage, is gorged with an ancient gold crown and bears a Tudor rose on its shoulder, a nod to royal heritage. On the sinister (left) side, a black horse (a key element of the post-1974 design) is also gorged with a gold crown, with a six-pointed star (mullet) suspended from it. The black horse symbolizes Berkshire’s connection to horse racing, and the mullet represents the six districts of the county after the 1974 reorganization and reflects Slough's astronomical legacy.

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.
