Arms of Poole Borough Council 1948-1976 (England) Pint Glass Design

A Heraldic Legacy

This pint glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of the Poole Borough Council, utilized from 1948 until 1974. The design is a vivid celebration of Poole's rich maritime history and traditions, elegantly rendered for display.

Visual Elements: The Arms

The central design, the "Arms", features a striking visual representation of the sea. It is composed of eight wavy bars alternating in black (Sable) and gold (Or), creating a dynamic sense of the ocean's movement. A silver (Argent) dolphin, gracefully curved (naiant embowed), with a red tongue (langued Gules), swims across the waves, symbolizing Poole's strong maritime connections. A wavy chief, the upper portion, of gold (Or), is adorned with three black scallop shells (Escallops), each an emblem of Saint James, honoring the medieval pilgrims who departed from Poole Harbour.

Visual Elements: The Crest

Above the shield, the "Crest" presents a mermaid in her natural colors (proper), emerging from a wreath of the colors (the black and gold). She holds a traditional anchor, without a beam, in her right hand, representing Poole's naval heritage, and in her left hand, a black pellet, symbolizing Poole's role as Admiral of the Port.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design is rich in symbolism. The wavy bars in black and gold vividly represent the sea, the lifeblood of Poole. The silver dolphin further emphasizes Poole's maritime interests, swimming gracefully through the waves. The three scallop shells evoke the historic link to Christian pilgrims departing from Poole, bound for Saint James's shrine. The mermaid, holding the anchor, embodies Poole's naval history and its prominent position as the "Admiral of the Port." This design is a visual testament to Poole's enduring heritage and maritime spirit.

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.
