Commemorative Medal of the Rhine Confederation (Germany) (Coat of Arms) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design celebrates the historical significance of the Confederation of the Rhine through evocative imagery derived from the original commemorative medal.

Obverse: A Symbol of Unity

The obverse side of the design prominently features a central element: a laurel-tied fasces. The fasces, a bundle of rods bound together around an ax, is a powerful symbol of unity, strength, and authority, reflecting the alliance forged amongst the member states. Surrounding this central motif, figures representing the member states of the Confederation are depicted in classical attire, often holding spears and shields. These figures visually embody the states united under the influence of Napoleon.

Accompanying the imagery, the inscription "CONFEDERATION DU RHIN" declares the alliance’s name. The date "MDCCCVI" (1806) serves to anchor the design in its historical context, commemorating the formation of the Confederation.

Reverse: Imperial Influence

The reverse design centers on a regal bust, representing Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor and King whose influence led to the Confederation's creation. His likeness, often a laureate head, symbolizes his power and leadership. The inscription "NAPOLEON EMP. ET ROI" (Napoleon Emperor and King) further emphasizes this association.

Heraldic and Symbolic Elements

The design, while referencing a "Germany Coat of Arms," doesn’t feature a single, unified coat of arms of Germany as it would later become. Instead, the design incorporates heraldic shields and symbolic figures, representing the individual states within the Confederation. These heraldic elements visually represent the diversity and unity of the alliance under French influence.

The entire design evokes the era of Napoleonic influence and German history, celebrating a pivotal moment in European politics and commemorating the complex alliances of the time.

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.
