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

This design depicts the coat of arms of the Captaincy General of Cuba, the emblem of Spanish colonial government on the island used between 1764 and 1898.

Visual Elements & Composition

The shield has an irregular outline and a quartered field, with red as the dominant colour. Gold castles with dark doorways sit on the red quarters, and a white key runs across another. A red crowned lion rampant stands on a white quarter, and a white cross appears on a red panel. A gold rose on a green stem and gold and red vertical stripes complete the field, with a small inescutcheon at its centre. A royal crown sits at the top of the shield.

Meaning & Symbolism

The key and the castles together describe Cuba as the gateway to the Americas, guarded by its fortified cities. The mountains and rivers in the design stand for the island's natural wealth, and the rose and stripes point to its agricultural and trading life. The royal crown underlines that Cuba was a possession of the Spanish Empire. The arms reflect the way colonial administrators saw the island, as both an economic asset and a strategic military outpost, and they record the priorities of nineteenth-century Cuban history.

Shaped for the Pint Glass

A 16oz glass has a tall, narrowing wall, so the shield wraps around the body and the crown sits close to the rim. The quartered field reads best as the glass is turned in the hand, the way a map is turned to follow its coastline and its key routes.

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.
