Bideford Town Council Coat of Arms Pint Glass

This pint glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of Bideford Town Council, a heraldic emblem rich with history and symbolism. The artwork is a faithful representation of the official design granted in 1936, a design that elegantly blends the town's maritime past with the influence of a prominent local family.

The Escutcheon: The Shield's Story

The central element, the escutcheon or shield, commands attention. Its base features a "water barry wavy," representing the River Torridge, with a three-arched stone bridge rising prominently above it. Issuing from the central arch is an ancient ship, its mast appearing behind the bridge, all rendered in meticulous detail. Above this scene, a "chief" or upper section of the shield displays three golden clarions, musical instruments, on a red background.

Symbolism Woven in the Design

The bridge and ship are central to Bideford's identity as a historic port town. The bridge symbolizes the town's role as a connection point, while the ship represents its bustling maritime trade and naval heritage. The three clarions pay homage to the Granville family, key figures in the town's history, whose family arms are incorporated into the town's emblem.

The Crest: A Symbol of Pride

Above the shield, the crest presents an Elizabethan ship in full sail. This magnificent vessel further reinforces Bideford's naval legacy. The ship’s central sail is distinguished with a golden clarion, a further nod to the Granville family, solidifying the interplay of the town's heritage.

A Visual Tapestry of Heritage

The coat of arms, as depicted on this glass, is more than just a decorative element; it's a visual tapestry, telling a story of Bideford's roots. It evokes the spirit of a historic port town, its connection to the sea, and its ties to the prominent families who helped shape its destiny. The careful rendering of each heraldic element brings to life the rich heritage of Bideford, offering a captivating glimpse into its past.

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.
