David Beattie Arms (New Zealand) Pint Glass: A Heraldic Display

This pint glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms granted to Sir David Stuart Beattie, Governor-General of New Zealand (1980–1985), offering a compelling glimpse into his life and legacy through its intricate design.

The Shield: A Foundation of Symbolism

The shield's design begins with a field of white (Argent), providing a clean canvas for the symbolic elements. A blue horizontal band (fess Azure) traverses the center, upon which a golden balance (Or), representing justice and his legal career, takes center stage. Flanking the balance are two white stars (mullets Argent), signifying guidance and service, and hinting at the Southern Hemisphere. Above and below the band are three red cinquefoils (Gules), five-petaled flowers drawn from the Beattie family arms, symbolizing hope and honor.

Crest: A New Zealand Icon

Surmounting the shield is the crest, the kiwi (Proper), New Zealand's national bird. The kiwi, rendered in its natural colors, stands in proud support of an upright silver sword (Argent), its hilt and pommel in gold (Or), representing authority and justice – key aspects of his role as Governor-General.

Supporters: Strength and Vigilance

Flanking the shield are the supporters. On the dexter (right) side stands a golden lion (Or), a symbol of courage and strength, often associated with the British connection. The lion is adorned with a red collar (gorged with a tressure flory-counter-flory Gules). On the sinister (left) side, a heron (Proper) – denoting patience and vigilance – stands, emblazoned on its breast with a green fern leaf (Vert), a distinctly New Zealand emblem, further rooting the design in its national context.

Motto: A Call to Duty

Beneath the coat of arms, the motto "Virtus in Arduis" – "Courage in Difficulties" – underscores Beattie's perseverance and moral strength, reinforcing the values embodied in the visual representation of his coat of arms.

This pint glass celebrates a fusion of British heraldic tradition and the identity of New Zealand. The combination of its symbolism and design will make for an interesting talking piece.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” 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 / β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” 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.
