Coat of Arms of British Honduras-Belize (1967-1981) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the heraldic emblem of British Honduras–Belize, a design rich in symbolism and historical significance, representing the period leading up to Belize's independence.

Visual Overview

The central element is a shield, divided into three sections, prominently displaying symbols associated with the territory's economic foundation. At the top, you'll find logging tools—an axe, saw, and paddle—reflecting the importance of the historic timber industry, particularly mahogany. The base of the shield features a sailing ship, symbolizing trade and the export of mahogany, a cornerstone of the colony's economy.

The shield is supported by two woodcutters, figures that represent the people and their labor. One figure traditionally holds an axe, the other a paddle, reinforcing the connection to the logging and transportation industries that shaped the territory. Above the shield, a majestic mahogany tree stands as a visual testament to the vital economic resource that drew British settlers and fueled the colony's early development.

Encircling the entire emblem is a wreath of leaves, a design feature of 50 leaves, added to commemorate the year 1950, when significant movements toward self-government began.

Symbolic Meaning

The coat of arms is a powerful statement about the region’s identity. The mahogany tree and the logging tools vividly highlight the significance of the timber trade in shaping the colony's settlement and economic history. The two figures, representing the people, acknowledge their role in building the colony's industries.

Below the shield, the Latin motto, “Sub Umbra Floreo” (“Under the shade I flourish”), emphasizes the idea of growth and stability. It reflects both the literal shelter of the forests, which were integral to the economy, and the idea of stability and growth during the colony's evolution toward self-government and eventually independence.

This design serves as a visual representation of the history, economy, and emerging national identity of British Honduras–Belize as it transitioned into the independent nation of Belize.

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.
