Emblem of Afghanistan 1980-1987 (Afghanistan) Pint Glass 16oz

This pint glass showcases the distinctive coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, used between 1980 and 1987. The design offers a compelling glimpse into the visual language of communist Afghanistan.

Key Design Elements and Symbolism

The centerpiece of the emblem is a powerful image of a rising sun emerging behind towering mountains. This represents the hope and progress envisioned by the socialist government.

On either side, the emblem is framed by stalks of wheat, a direct reference to Afghanistan's agrarian economy and the promise of prosperity for its people. This imagery highlights the importance of agriculture within the nation.

At the base of the design, a prominent gear or cogwheel symbolizes the significance of industry and labor in the socialist framework. It is a visual representation of the working class.

Above the mountain range, the emblem is topped by a bold red star, the internationally recognized symbol of communism, signifying the country's alignment with the socialist bloc.

Completing the design is a ribbon or banner, usually inscribed with the name of the country in Pashto and Dari, the official languages. This often includes the year according to the Afghan calendar, anchoring the design in its historical context.

The color palette is predominantly red and yellow, reflecting the vibrant colors favored in socialist iconography, with green accents in the wheat. The design replaces more traditional Islamic symbolism with secular imagery that represents the communist ideology of the period.

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.
