The design is a powerful statement of the county's identity, brimming with symbolism that reflects its history and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Shield (Arms)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Crest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRising 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Supporters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlanking 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":50913084014872,"sku":"30519360592662496068","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/arms-of-berkshire-county-council-1974-1998-england-coat-of-arms-pint-glass-16oz-16oz-position1.webp?v=1764546430","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/arms-of-berkshire-county-council-1974-1998-england-coat-of-arms-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
