Crowned Arms of New Zealand (1911-1956) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the historical Crowned Arms of New Zealand, a powerful visual representation of the nation from 1911 to 1956. The design is a detailed and symbolic artwork, offering a glimpse into New Zealand's past and its ties to both Britain and its own burgeoning identity.

The Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the shield, meticulously quartered to depict significant aspects of New Zealand's early 20th-century life:

  • First Quarter: A vibrant blue field adorned with three gold stars representing the Southern Cross constellation. This is a crucial national symbol, reflecting New Zealand's unique place in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • Second Quarter: A golden fleece on a red background. This symbolizes the paramount importance of sheep farming and the thriving wool industry that fueled the nation's economy.
  • Third Quarter: A wheat sheaf on a red field, signifying the significance of agriculture and food production in New Zealand.
  • Fourth Quarter: Two crossed hammers on a red background, representing the mining and industrial sectors, acknowledging the development of infrastructure and industry.
  • Central Escutcheon: At the heart of the shield, a smaller blue shield holds a gold lion passant, holding a torch. This symbolizes the connection to the British Empire and represents progress and industry.

Supporters & Crest

Flanking the shield are two figures, acting as supporters:

  • Left: A European woman, holding the New Zealand flag, symbolizing the European influence and heritage.
  • Right: A Māori warrior, holding a taiaha, a traditional Māori weapon. This represents the indigenous Māori people and their integral role in New Zealand's cultural identity.

Crowning the entire design is the St. Edward’s Crown, firmly placed at the top of the shield. This crown highlights New Zealand's status as part of the British Empire during this period.

Base

The shield often rests on a decorative base, perhaps a compartment of foliage or ferns. While this is not always included on every iteration, it is a visual reminder of the unique native flora of New Zealand.

The design, as a whole, is a historical tapestry woven with symbolism. It speaks of the nation's ties to its colonial past, its key industries, and the harmonious inclusion of both European and Māori elements in the developing nation.

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.
