Arms of Joseph II: The "Or Shield" Variant

This pint glass showcases the "Or shield variant" of the coat of arms belonging to Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor. The design presents a striking visual representation of imperial authority, boiled down to its essential elements for widespread recognition.

Design Elements and Symbolism

At the heart of the design is a shield rendered in radiant gold (Or), symbolizing nobility, generosity, and the brilliance of the imperial office. Dominating the field is a majestic double-headed eagle, depicted in black (Sable), a powerful emblem of the Holy Roman Empire itself. The eagle, crowned with a single imperial crown, signifies the Emperor's supreme authority and his dual role as ruler.

On the eagle's breast rests an inescutcheon, a smaller shield, that bears the arms of Austria: a red field (Gules) traversed by a silver horizontal bar (Argent). This detail highlights Austria's position as the dynastic core of Joseph II's realm, emphasizing its central importance to the Empire. Often, the design would feature the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious chivalric order, further illustrating the Emperor's status.

The "Or shield variant" intentionally omitted the complex quarterings found in Joseph II's full imperial arms. This simplification was strategic, ensuring immediate recognizability on coins, seals, and other imperial displays. The artwork distilled the essence of Joseph II's imperial title and his connection to the Austrian heartland, creating a bold and memorable image of power and governance.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” 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 / β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” 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.
