Badge of the British West Africa Settlements (1870-1888) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the historical emblem of the British West Africa Settlements, a colonial entity encompassing areas that are now Ghana, Lagos, Sierra Leone, and Gambia. The design, originating from around 1870 and used until 1888, features a circular badge brimming with symbolic meaning.

Visual Elements

At the heart of the design stands a majestic elephant, a potent symbol of power and strength, set before a lush palm tree. This backdrop is further enhanced by green hills, hinting at the diverse landscapes of the West African territory. The words "WEST AFRICA SETTLEMENTS" are inscribed boldly in red across the base of the badge, clearly identifying the colonial administrative unit.

Symbolism and Meaning

The elephant, a striking representation of the region's wildlife, conveys authority and resilience. The palm tree represents the tropical environment of the colonies. The green hills add depth, suggesting the terrain found in areas like the Gold Coast. Together, these elements paint a vivid picture of the colonial landscape, its natural resources, and the presence of British rule.

Note: The "Niger" in the title is for historical context only. This design is not related to the modern coat of arms of the Republic of Niger.

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.
