Diocese of Birmingham (England) Coat of Arms Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass showcases the striking coat of arms of the Diocese of Birmingham (Church of England). The design is a vibrant display of heraldic artistry, rich in historical and symbolic meaning.

Visual Elements

The central element is a shield, bisected vertically by an indented (zig-zag) line, creating a unique visual effect. The left side of the shield is gold (Or), while the right side is red (Gules). Within this field, several distinct elements are presented:

  • Five roundels, arranged in a pattern of two, two, and one.
  • Two crosses patee positioned in the top section (chief) of the shield.

A key aspect of the design is the "counter-changed" nature of the charges. This means the roundels and crosses adopt the opposite color of the background field they are set upon. Thus, on the gold side, the roundels and crosses are red, and on the red side, they are gold.

Symbolism and Meaning

Each element of the design carries significant meaning, representing the origins and identity of the Diocese of Birmingham:

  • The gold and red partition with the indented line is derived from the arms of the ancient de Bermingham family, who historically held the manor of Birmingham, linking the design to the geographical area.
  • The five roundels are borrowed from the arms of the Diocese of Worcester, symbolizing the contribution of Worcester's territory to the formation of the Birmingham diocese.
  • The two crosses patee are taken from the arms of the Diocese of Lichfield. This symbolizes the Diocese of Birmingham’s formation as it was created by the combining of territories from the Worcester and Lichfield dioceses.

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.
