Coat of Arms of the Protectorate in Scotland Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of the Protectorate in Scotland, a powerful visual testament to the unification of the British Isles under Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth. The artwork is a faithful representation of the original heraldic design, a complex and symbolic composition meant to communicate the ideals and authority of the era.

The Shield: A Union of Nations

The centerpiece of the design is the shield, meticulously divided into four quadrants, each representing a nation under the Commonwealth. The first and fourth quadrants proudly display the red cross of Saint George on a silver field, symbolizing England. In the second quadrant, the white saltire of Saint Andrew graces a blue background, representing Scotland. The third quadrant presents a golden harp on a blue field, the emblem of Ireland. This arrangement visually declares the unity of the three nations.

At the heart of the shield lies an inescutcheon, a smaller shield featuring a black field emblazoned with a silver rampant lion. This powerful symbol, the lion, represents the authority of the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell himself, and his leadership.

Motto and Supporters: Authority and Purpose

Below the shield, the motto "Pax quaeritur bello" – "Peace is sought through war" – is subtly incorporated into the design, reflecting the Protectorate's military origins and its aspiration for peace through strength. Flanking the shield are the supporters: on the dexter (right) side, a golden lion, a further nod to English heraldry, and on the sinister (left) side, a red dragon, representing Wales, demonstrating its inclusion in the unified government.

Crest and Mantling: Royalty Reimagined

Above the shield, a crest featuring a crowned lion signifies the continuing relevance of the monarchy, although within the context of a republican government. The mantling, or decorative foliage, is a carefully considered blend of elements. The Scottish heraldic tradition is reflected in the use of ermine and sable (black), while English heraldry contributes gules (red) and ermine, symbolizing the coming together of two great nations.

This intricate design, rich with symbolic meaning, offers a unique window into a pivotal era in British history, perfectly captured on a classic pint glass.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” 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 / β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” 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.
