Dordrecht Wapen Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the historic coat of arms (wapen) of Dordrecht, a municipality in the Netherlands. The primary design element is the shield, the heart of the Dordrecht heraldry.

The Shield

The shield itself is a striking visual. The background is a vibrant red (keel), bisected by a vertical stripe of silver (zilver). This simple yet bold color scheme of red-white-red has ancient roots and is a direct representation of the city's identity. The white stripe is known as a 'pale' in heraldry and acts as a central dividing element.

Crowning Glory and Supporters

Above the shield rests a golden (goud) crown. The crown is adorned with fleurons and pearls, adding a touch of regal elegance. On either side of the shield, supporting the design, stand two golden griffins (griffioen). These mythical creatures, part lion and part eagle, symbolize strength, courage, and vigilance. Their presence elevates the visual impact, adding layers of detail and historical narrative to the design. The griffins are a decorative embellishment that has come to be strongly associated with the city.

Symbolism

The design speaks volumes about Dordrecht's rich history. The colors, chosen many centuries ago, represent the city's enduring identity. The crown and the griffins add to the richness and history, representing status, civic pride, and a long lineage. The overall design offers a proud display of Dordrecht’s heritage.

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.
