Coat of Arms of Vitebsk Governorate Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the striking coat of arms of the Vitebsk Governorate, a historical region within the Russian Empire, as officially approved in 1856. The design is a bold statement of heraldic tradition, rich with symbolism and historical significance.

The Central Emblem

At the heart of the design is a dynamic scene of a knight, rendered in brilliant silver (argent), mounted on a galloping horse of the same color. The knight, clad in full armor, raises a gleaming sword in his right hand, a powerful symbol of martial prowess and territorial defense. His left arm bears a shield, blazoned with a distinctive red (gules) patriarchal cross against a silver field, a nod to both religious and regional heritage.

Color and Composition

The vibrant red field of the shield provides a dramatic backdrop for the silver knight, creating a high-contrast visual impact. Subtle accents, such as the potential presence of blue (azure) elements on the horse's accoutrements, further enhance the design, alluding to the region's Lithuanian heritage. The overall composition is one of movement and strength, reflecting the history of the region.

Imperial Accoutrements

The coat of arms is traditionally crowned with the Imperial Russian crown, a clear indicator of the region's status within the Russian Empire. The shield itself may be displayed within a wreath of oak leaves and ribbons, a common embellishment for gubernial arms, further emphasizing the heraldic prestige and official status of the design.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design draws deeply on historical themes. The knight on horseback is a direct descendant of the “rider on horseback” motif (Vytis) of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The knight's sword and the red field represent the area's martial heritage and territorial identity. The patriarchal cross on the shield is a symbol of both religious and regional identity. This design is a visual testament to the region's history, heritage, and connection to both the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Russian Empire.

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.
