Escudo de Alcóntar (Spain) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the intricate and historically rich coat of arms of Alcóntar, a municipality in Almería, Spain. The design is a visual tapestry woven from elements representing both the town's natural landscape and its noble heritage.

The Upper Section: Natural Beauty

The upper portion of the shield, which is "cut," displays a design symbolizing the natural environment. It features six horizontal bands, "fajado," in silver ("plata") and blue ("azul"), creating an undulating wave pattern, a nod to the local waterways and the flow of life. Overlaid on this wavy backdrop is a green ("sinople") uprooted tree, "arrancado", representing the local flora and the rooted connection to the land.

The Lower Section: Heraldic Lineages

The lower section is "partido," or divided. The left half honors the Pacheco family, showing a white ("plata") field. Across this field are two golden ("oro") and red ("gules") dented cauldrons arranged one above the other. From each cauldron, three golden serpents ("sierpes") are emerging, with one serpent looking inwards and two outwards.

On the right half, the Acuña family is represented on a black ("sable") field. A golden ("oro") band runs diagonally across the shield. This band is charged with a pattern of blue ("azul") wedges, nine at the top and nine at the bottom. In the center of the band is the red ("gules") cross flory, silver ("plata") that is part of the Pereyra coat of arms. Surrounding the whole composition is a border of silver ("plata"), bearing five blue escutcheons, each charged with five silver bezants. Each bezant is marked with a black dot, which is reminiscent of the coat of arms of Portugal.

A Symbol of History

The coat of arms of Alcóntar, as depicted on this pint glass, serves as a powerful symbol of the town's identity, connecting its past with its present. It's a visual story told through heraldic symbols that reflect its geography, history, and the noble families who have shaped its destiny.

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.
