Arms of Philip II of Spain: A Regal Design

This pint glass showcases the majestic Arms of Philip II of Spain, specifically the Spanish variant used during his time as King Consort of England (1556-1558). The artwork presents a visually complex yet balanced heraldic composition, reflecting Philip's vast dynastic ties and imperial ambitions.

The Shield: A Quarterly Display of Power

The central element is the shield, meticulously divided into quarters and an inescutcheon, a small shield in the center. The first quarter displays the emblems of Castile and León, representing Philip's Spanish heritage. Castile is emblazoned with a golden castle on a red field, while León presents a purple lion rampant on silver.

The second quarter further emphasizes Philip's inherited domains with Aragon's bold golden and red stripes (four pallets gules) and Sicily's striking per saltire design featuring a silver and red eagle displayed. The third quarter introduces the Habsburg influence through Austria, a red field crossed by a silver bar.

The fourth quarter alludes to the Burgundian inheritance with two parts. The modern Burgundy, with a blue field scattered with golden fleurs-de-lis, framed by a red border. The other part has a black lion rampant on a gold field, referring to Brabant/Flanders, adding depth and representing his diverse holdings.

At the heart of the design, the inescutcheon, or small central shield, bears the arms of Jerusalem, symbolizing the historical claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem with a silver field featuring a gold cross potent between four gold crosslets. This reflects claims associated with the Spanish crown.

Impaled Heraldry: The Union of Crowns

On the right side of the shield, impaled, or joined together, are the royal arms of England, showcasing the union through Philip's marriage to Mary I. This section contains the familiar three golden lions of England, the red lion rampant of Scotland, and the golden harp of Ireland. This symbolizes the dual reign over the English and Spanish empires.

Crest, Supporters, and Motto

The design is crowned by the Crown of Spain, a symbol of royal authority, often accompanied by the Habsburg eagle, a reminder of the family's influence. The majestic Pillars of Hercules are often present as supporters, the heraldic elements representing Spain's imperial aspirations, alongside the motto “Plus Ultra” (Further Beyond), a declaration of ambition and global reach.

This pint glass embodies a story of historical union, dynastic power, and imperial ambition, making it a unique and visually striking tribute to a significant historical figure.

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.
