Brasão-freguesia-sao-mateus (Portugal) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the heraldic artistry of the Coat of Arms (Brasão) from the Freguesia de São Mateus, located in the Concelho de Madalena on the island of Pico in the Azores, Portugal. The design is a vibrant representation of the parish's history, traditions, and connection to the sea.

Visual Elements

The central design element is the shield, its azure (blue) field providing a rich backdrop for the various symbols. Dominating the upper portion are two golden bunches of grapes, their intricate details highlighted by silver leaves, representing the importance of agriculture and the region's renowned vineyards. At the heart of the design, a golden halo is emblazoned, featuring a striking blue pen rendered in silver, which pays homage to the patron saint, Saint Matthew (São Mateus), and the parish's name.

The lower portion of the shield is distinguished by a dynamic wavy base, composed of alternating bands of silver and green, symbolizing the Atlantic Ocean that surrounds the island. Superimposed upon the waves is a stylized black sperm whale, its form highlighted in silver, a powerful emblem of the historical maritime activities and the significance of the sea to the community.

Crowning the shield is a silver mural crown with three visible towers, a heraldic marker specific to parishes in Portugal. Beneath the shield, a white scroll bears the inscription “S. MATEUS – MADALENA” in elegant black lettering, completing the composition.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design is rich in symbolism. The grapes directly reflect the vital role of viticulture, referencing the traditional vineyards, while the halo with the pen is a visual link to the patron saint and the toponym. The wavy bands and the sperm whale represent the Atlantic Ocean, emphasizing the area's maritime heritage, including fishing and its historic connection to whaling. This intricate combination of elements creates a powerful visual narrative of São Mateus's identity.

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.
