Dalfsen Wapens 1898 Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the original coat of arms granted to the municipality of Dalfsen in the Netherlands in 1898. The design is a striking example of heraldic artistry, rich in symbolism and historical significance.

The Shield

The design is centered around a shield, divided horizontally into two distinct sections, or "per fess". The upper half features a captivating "chequy" pattern, reminiscent of a checkerboard. This pattern is formed by alternating squares of silver (white) and azure (blue), arranged in four rows, each containing five squares. This chequy pattern is drawn from the arms of the Van Rechteren family, signifying a historical connection to the region and its noble past.

The lower half of the shield presents a stark contrast. Set against a deep sable (black) background, two golden scythes, or sickle-blades, are crossed in saltire, forming an "X" shape. The placement and choice of the scythes presumably refer to the agricultural character of the Dalfsen region, emphasizing its connection to the land and its history of harvesting.

The Absence of a Crown

Unlike later versions, the 1898 design may have lacked the customary golden crown often seen above municipal coats of arms. This detail highlights the original simplicity and the specific time when the armorial design was adopted.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall design is a powerful visual statement. The chequy pattern speaks to the legacy of the Van Rechteren family, while the scythes firmly root the design in the agricultural heritage of Dalfsen. The combination of these elements provides a rich narrative of the region’s past, encapsulating its history, its people, and its connection to the land.

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.
