Blason John Fordham Evêque de Durham selon Gelre (England) (Coat of Arms) Pint Glass 16oz - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the heraldic achievement of John Fordham, Bishop of Durham, as recorded in the 14th-century Armorial de Gelre. The design is a direct representation of his coat of arms, offering a glimpse into medieval heraldry and its symbolic language.

The Shield

The central element is the shield, its field a deep Sable, or black, representing constancy and sometimes sorrow. Across the shield runs a gold chevron (Or), a classic heraldic symbol often signifying protection or building. Above and below the chevron are three gold crosses pattee, also known as cross-nilée, with flared arms. These crosses underscore Fordham's ecclesiastical role and convey his devotion to faith and religious service.

The Crest and Coronet

Above the shield, the design incorporates a Bishop's Mitre, reflecting the ecclesiastical rank of John Fordham. This is further topped with a gold eagle displayed, a symbol of power, courage, and divine inspiration. The eagle holds a scroll inscribed with "Gloria Deo" ("Glory to God"), the motto reinforcing the religious theme.

Overall Design and Meaning

The complete design is a carefully considered composition of visual elements. The black field of the shield provides a stark contrast to the gold chevron and crosses, creating a striking and memorable image. The Mitre and the Crest, topped with the eagle, complete the achievement, conveying the authority and spiritual dedication of Bishop Fordham. This design is more than just decoration; it's a window into the past, communicating the identity and values of a medieval Bishop through the visual language of heraldry.

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.
