Coat of Arms of Portuguese Timor Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the heraldic design of the "lesser" coat of arms used for Portuguese Timor (now Timor-Leste) from 1935 to 1975. The artwork faithfully replicates the official emblem applied to Portugal's overseas territories under the 1935 heraldic reforms, offering a striking representation of colonial identity.

The Upper Section: Portuguese Authority

The upper portion of the design is dominated by the Portuguese national emblem. This features the familiar shield of Portugal: a central white field containing five smaller blue shields arranged in a cruciform pattern. Each blue shield is adorned with five white dots, a significant detail representing the legend of the "Quinas." This central element is then enclosed by a red border studded with seven gold castles. The inclusion of this section clearly represents Portuguese sovereignty and the colonial relationship.

The Lower Section: Timorese Identity

The lower section of the coat of arms presents elements specifically reflecting the identity of Portuguese Timor. It often features stylized representations of cultural or historical significance to the island. Commonly depicted are symbols of Timorese heritage and resistance, such as traditional spears and shields. The specific arrangements can vary, but the aim remains consistent: to portray the unique characteristics of the colony within the context of Portuguese heraldic conventions.

The Crown: Colonial Rank

Topping the shield is a gold mural crown, a heraldic symbol that signifies the administrative status of the colony. The crown is typically rendered with five towers, further emphasizing the governmental authority and official standing of Portuguese Timor within the Portuguese empire.

Overall Impression

The design effectively balances the presence of Portuguese national symbols with local cultural motifs. The resulting image serves as a powerful visual reminder of a specific historical period, combining the imagery of Portuguese authority with the distinct identity of Timor-Leste under colonial rule.

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.
