Arms of Oxfordshire County Council 1949-1976 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of Oxfordshire County Council, used from 1949 to 1974, a design rich in symbolism and historical significance. The artwork is a faithful representation of the original heraldic achievement, a visual testament to Oxfordshire's heritage.

The Shield (Arms)

The central design, the shield, presents a striking composition. The background is a field of blue (azure), immediately evoking the prestige and influence of the University of Oxford. Traversing this field are two white (argent) wavy lines, symbolizing the River Thames and its crucial network of tributaries that shape the county's landscape. Above these lines, a golden (or) wheatsheaf (garb) represents Oxfordshire's agricultural prowess, while below, a golden oak tree, uprooted and bearing fruit, signifies the county's rich woodlands. At the heart of the shield, centered on the fess point, is a red (gules) ox's head, caboshed (facing forward), a direct reference to the name of the county town, Oxford.

The Crest

Rising above the shield is the crest, an emblem of authority. A red (gules) mural coronet, representing municipal governance, supports a green (vert) mount. Upon this mount stands a detailed depiction of St. George's Tower from Oxford Castle, rendered in its natural (proper) colors. The crest is mantled in blue and white, colors that echo the shield's design.

The Supporters

Flanking the shield are two Oxford Down rams, realistically depicted in their natural colors. Each ram is collared with blue (azure), upon which a single white (argent) wavy line is present. These noble animals represent the county's historical connection to sheep farming.

The Motto

Beneath the design, the motto "Sapere Aude" (Dare to be wise) encourages intellectual and scholarly pursuits, a testament to Oxfordshire's renowned educational institutions.

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.
