Arms of William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling (Coat of Arms) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass features a stunning representation of the coat of arms of William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling, a prominent figure in Scottish history.

The Shield: A Quartered Display

The central element is a shield, meticulously divided into four distinct quarters. The first and fourth quarters display the arms of the Alexander of Menstrie family: a field divided vertically (per pale) into silver (argent) and black (sable). A chevron and a crescent are placed on this field, with their colors counterchanged – meaning their hues swap depending on the background. This creates a visually dynamic effect.

The second and third quarters present the Stirling/MacDonald lineage: a gold (or) field bearing a black ship (lymphad). Accompanying the ship are three red (gules) crosses, specifically cross-crosslet bottony fitchée – a style of cross with trefoil-like buds and a pointed foot, arranged in a pattern of two above and one below.

At the center, in the point of honor, is a smaller shield (escutcheon) of silver (argent). This escutcheon bears a blue St. Andrew’s cross (saltire azure) that is charged with another even smaller shield bearing the arms of Scotland, representing his association with Nova Scotia.

Other Heraldic Elements: A Rich Tapestry

Above the shield rests a crest: a bear, seated upright in its natural color. On either side of the shield stand the supporters: on the right, a "Red Indian" (Native American) figure with long hair, holding a dart. On the left, a mermaid holds a mirror. These elements add further layers of symbolism and historical context to the design.

The motto, "Per mare, per terras" (By sea, by land), is often displayed and adds another layer of meaning.

Overall, this design is a detailed and intricate presentation of the Earl's heraldry, a visual testament to his lineage, achievements, and connection to both Scotland and the wider world.

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.
