Blason Ottavio Faletti di Barolo Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass showcases the elaborate and historically significant coat of arms, or "blason," of Ottavio Faletti di Barolo, a distinguished Italian nobleman and Count of the Empire under Napoleon. The design tells a story of lineage, service, and honor through its intricate heraldic elements.

The Shield: A Quarterly Tapestry

The core of the design is the quarterly shield, divided into four distinct sections, each representing different facets of Barolo's life and achievements. The first quarter displays the arms of a French Empire Count/Senator, a testament to his service within Napoleon's administration.

The second quarter presents a vibrant gold field emblazoned with three bold red chevrons, symbolizing protection and steadfast service. Above, two red cinquefoils (five-petaled flowers) and a third below, add a touch of joy and hope.

The complex third quarter offers a deeper dive into Barolo's heritage. It features eight verdant vine leaves, arranged in a 3-3-2 pattern, hinting at his connection to the Piedmont wine region. A silver column, emblematic of stability and strength, stands as a central figure, set on a background of per fess gules and azure with a fourth section of gules.

The fourth quarter features a striking red lion rampant facing left, a symbol of courage and nobility, against an azure field. An overlaying bend chequy (checkered band) of gold and red, composed of three lines, further emphasizes aristocratic standing and adds a touch of visual complexity.

Liveries and Legacy

The colors used throughout the design, representing the "livrées" or mantling, visually tie together all the elements of the design. The overall design serves as a rich visual narrative of Ottavio Faletti di Barolo's life, encompassing both his Italian noble roots and his achievements under Napoleonic rule. The use of traditional heraldic symbols provides a glimpse into his status and his values.

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.
