Escudo de Alfio Rapisarda (Spain) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the striking personal coat of arms of Alfio Rapisarda, an Italian archbishop, presented within the traditional form of ecclesiastical heraldry. The design is rich with symbolism and color, offering a glimpse into the individual's faith and values.

The Shield: A Divided Field

The shield itself is divided vertically, creating two distinct halves. The right side (dexter) presents a vibrant red field, emblazoned with a series of six rounded silver hills, possibly representing a spiritual foundation or challenges overcome. On the left side (sinister), a deep blue background holds a majestic gold lion rampant, holding a green palm frond. The lion embodies strength and spiritual vigilance, while the palm frond symbolizes victory, peace, or martyrdom.

Colors and Symbols

The colors are significant: Red, the color of zeal and sacrifice, is combined with blue, representing fidelity and heavenly things. The use of gold signifies generosity and divine light. The gold lion, the silver hills, and the green palm frond add further depth and nuance to the design, alluding to core aspects of faith, hope, and peace.

Ecclesiastical Elements

The design clearly denotes Rapisarda's ecclesiastical rank through the inclusion of traditional elements found in church heraldry. Behind the shield is a double-barred cross, alongside a green galero (ecclesiastical hat) with tassels, further emphasizing his role as an archbishop.

The Motto

At the base of the design, a ribbon displays the Latin motto, “Super Omnia Charitas," which translates to "Above all, Charity / Love". This motto reinforces the central theme of the design, emphasizing the importance of love and charity as the highest virtues.

This design is not an official Spanish coat of arms but is instead the personal episcopal heraldry of Archbishop Rapisarda. It is a striking visual representation of his faith, ideals, and ecclesiastical position.

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.
