São Tomé and Príncipe (1935-1951) Coat of Arms Pint Glass

This pint glass showcases the historical coat of arms of São Tomé and Príncipe as it appeared from 1935 to 1951, during the period of Portuguese colonial rule. The design is a vibrant testament to the era, rich with symbolism and historical significance.

A Divided Shield

The central element of the design is a shield, divided into three distinct sections. The first section, on the viewer's right (dexter), proudly displays the Portuguese "quinas" — five small blue shields, each bearing five white discs. This element represents the "motherland," Portugal itself, and its influence over the colony.

The middle section of the shield features a golden water-mill wheel, complete with water droplets, set against a red background. This symbolizes King Afonso V of Portugal, the monarch under whose reign the islands were discovered, acknowledging the historical origins of Portuguese presence in the territory.

The third section, on the viewer's left (sinister), depicts the insular nature of the territory. Silver stripes with wavy green stripes at the bottom, symbolizing the sea and the islands' maritime environment.

Supporting Elements

Beneath the shield, an armillary sphere, a golden instrument representing the Portuguese Empire's maritime and global reach, reinforces the theme of colonial power and exploration.

Topping the shield is a golden mural crown with five towers, the standard crown used for colonial provinces, further cementing the status of São Tomé and Príncipe as part of the Portuguese colonial empire.

Inscription

Completing the design is a banner, or listel, which bears the inscription "COLÓNIA PORTUGUESA DE SÃO TOMÉ E PRÍNCIPE" (Portuguese Colony of São Tomé and Príncipe), clearly identifying the colony and its colonial status.

Overall, this design is a fascinating window into the past, combining elements of Portuguese heritage and colonial identity with symbols of the islands themselves, all wrapped into a clear statement of historical context.

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.
