Blason François Marie d'Aboville Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the heraldic achievement of François-Marie d'Aboville (1730-1817), a French general and nobleman, offering a striking visual representation of his life and titles.

Napoleonic Era Design

The central motif, as Count of the French Empire, features a prominent castle with two towers. The field, or background, is a rich purpure (purple), symbolizing sovereignty and regal dignity. The castle, meticulously detailed with black stonework and open details (sable), represents fortitude and defense. A notable detail is the gold mast on the sinister (left) tower, flying a green pennon bearing the letters "L N G," likely referencing a Napoleonic motto.

This version also incorporates a franc-quartier, a design element signifying d'Aboville's prestigious status as a senator and count of the Empire.

Restoration Era Design

The alternative design, representing d'Aboville as Count and Peer of France during the Restoration, presents a different visual narrative. The background shifts to sinople (green), representing hope and loyalty. The castle, still the central focus, is rendered in silver, topped with silver weather vanes and detailed in black. The upper portion of the design features a blue quarter bearing a unique and symbolic element: an upright gold mirror from which a silver serpent twists, reflecting itself. This personal device likely represents wisdom, prudence, or self-knowledge, enhancing the complexity of the design.

Symbolism and Interpretation

The recurring two-towered castle across both versions highlights themes of strength, defense, and nobility. The changing colors and the inclusion of unique elements provide insight into d'Aboville’s evolving status and affiliations. The color choices, with their specific heraldic meanings – purple for sovereignty, green for hope, silver for peace, and black for constancy – add layers of symbolic significance to the design. The serpent and mirror element offer an additional layer of contemplation and heraldic symbolism to this design.

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.

One size: 16 oz (≈0.47 L). Below are product dimensions to help with shelving, storage, and packaging choices.
