Coat of arms of the Captaincy General of Cuba - Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

A flat vector heraldic shield of the Captaincy General of Cuba, quartered in red, white and gold beneath the Spanish royal crown.

Visual Elements & Composition

The shield has an irregular outline and is divided into quartered fields, with red as the dominant colour. Gold castles with dark doorways sit on red, a white key on a red field marks one quarter, and a red crowned lion rampant stands on white. A white cross on red and a gold rose with a green stem fill the remaining sections, and vertical gold and red stripes complete the set. The royal crown sits at the top, and the composition stays centred and orderly.

Meaning & Symbolism

The key and castles stand for Cuba as the gateway to the Americas, with its fortified cities guarding the approach. The mountains, rivers and rose reflect the island's natural wealth, while tobacco and sugarcane, which are referenced in the design's context, speak to the agricultural trade that tied the island to Spain. The crown marks the arms as a possession of the Spanish Empire. The emblem was used from 1764 to 1898, a period in which the captaincy general governed the island as Spain's administrative centre.

Where the Crest Meets the Glass

A pint glass wraps the shield around a tall curve, so the castles and key sit in view as the glass turns in the hand. The crown sits near the rim when the glass is lifted, and the frosted print carries the red and white fields across the full surface.

Frosted pint glass (16 oz / ≈0.47 L) with a soft matte finish and semi-translucent, one-sided print. Tough enough for bar and restaurant use, dishwasher safe, and BPA-free — a modern take on classic pintware.

These pints are mouth-blown-style glass finished with a satin frost that mutes glare and gives art a soft, tactile presence. The print sits atop the frosted surface to create a semi-see-through effect — the look subtly shifts depending on lighting and what's poured inside.

Because the print is slightly translucent, pale drinks let more light through and darker pours create stronger contrast. That interplay gives each serving a small visual surprise — useful in hospitality settings or retail displays where the drink and the glass play off each other.

  • Material: 100% glass with a matte, frosted finish for a low-reflective, premium feel.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint, ≈0.47 L).
  • Print: one-sided wraparound, semi-translucent finish that changes with light and liquid.
  • Care: dishwasher-safe for everyday service (see Care tab for tips).
  • Use cases: retail shelves, bar service, event glassware, or merch racks — suitable for single units or larger orders.

These glasses work well for chilled beers, craft pours, iced cocktails and cold brew — anywhere you want an elegant, understated presentation. The frosted surface hides minor fingerprints and softens the silhouette of the drink inside.

  1. Serve: fill with cold beverages; the semi-translucent print will interact with the drink color for subtle variation.
  2. Display: stack or line them on back bar shelving where soft lighting emphasizes the frosted texture.
  3. Stocking: sell individually or as a set; their neutral look fits many menu styles and venue aesthetics.

Tip: if you plan themed pours (pale ales, lagers, dark stouts), test a sample to see how each drink’s hue changes the printed artwork’s visibility.

Dishwasher-safe for routine cleaning — use a standard household cycle and avoid very high-heat commercial programs when possible. Placing glasses mouth-down on the rack reduces risk of chipping during wash cycles.

For best longevity, hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent and dry immediately with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive scouring pads and harsh chemical cleaners that can dull the frosted finish or wear printed areas over time.
