Dessel Wapens (Belgium) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the heraldic emblem of Dessel, a municipality in Belgium. The design is a faithful representation of the official coat of arms, offering a piece of Belgian heritage within its artwork.

The Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the shield, which adopts a minimalist yet striking composition. It features a field of bright gold (or yellow), upon which a bold black saltire (an 'X'-shaped cross) is prominently displayed. The saltire's edges are carefully rendered with an engrailed pattern, giving the cross a scalloped or indented appearance. This distinctive element adds visual interest and texture to the design.

The "Greater" Version: Municipal Heraldry

While the shield alone is a powerful symbol, this design reflects the "greater" or full version of the coat of arms. Flanking the shield are two golden supporters: a lion, and a griffin. Behind the shield stands the figure of Saint Peter, rendered in gold and holding his keys, a further indication of the municipality's heritage and civic identity. This intricate detail elevates the design, transforming it from a simple family crest to a complex and meaningful piece of municipal heraldry.

Symbolism and Meaning

The gold and black colors, as well as the unique saltire design, are derived from the arms of Alexander-Balthazar Roelants, Lord of Dessel in 1666, and have been adopted to reflect local tradition. The supporters (lion & griffin) and the figure of St Peter are symbolic elements that give the arms a more “municipal heraldic” character than a family crest.

This design is not just a visual representation; it is a story. It speaks of history, tradition, and the enduring identity of Dessel.

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.
