Coat of Arms Valais 1628 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the historical Coat of Arms of Valais, Switzerland, specifically the version dating back to circa 1628. The design pays homage to the era of the Republic of the Seven Tithings (Sieben Zenden) of Valais, prior to its full canton status.

Appearance and Heraldic Elements

The central element of the design is the shield, which is divided vertically (per pale) into two fields. The dexter side (viewer's left) is rendered in argent (white/silver), and the sinister side (viewer's right) is gules (red). This red and white division reflects the colors historically associated with the Prince-Bishops of Sion, who held power in the region.

The shield is further adorned with a series of six-pointed mullets, or stars. The number and precise arrangement of these stars may vary in different representations, reflecting the historical ambiguity of the period. These stars symbolize the "tithings" or districts of the Valais region, originally representing the seven tithings of the republic.

Historical Significance and Symbolism

The 1628 version of the coat of arms marks a transition in Valais’s history. It represents the region's political identity as an independent republic within the Old Swiss Confederacy. The design therefore encapsulates the struggle for independence from the bishop in the early 17th century.

The use of six-pointed stars, distinct from the later five-pointed stars found in the modern canton arms, is a key characteristic of this historical design. The number of stars reflects the number of districts or tithings in the republic, visually representing the collective identity of the Valais region during this crucial period.

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.
