Escudo de Caracas (Costa Rica) Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass features a striking rendition of the original "Escudo de Caracas," the coat of arms of the city of Santiago de León de Caracas, now known as Caracas, Venezuela. This design, approved in 1591, immediately captures the eye with its bold heraldic elements.

Central Elements

At the heart of the design is a majestic, brown rampant lion on a silver (represented as white) field. The lion is depicted in a powerful pose, symbolizing strength and courage. It holds a golden scallop shell (venera) within its paws, upon which rests the iconic red cross of Saint James (Santiago), signifying the city's patron saint.

Additional Embellishments

The design is crowned with a golden, five-pointed crown, further enhancing the shield's regal appearance. Behind the shield, the arrangement showcases trophies of war which represent the military significance of the era, adding a layer of historical context to the visual.

Textual Elements

Framing the core design are two banners. One prominently displays "Santiago de León de Caracas 1567," naming the city and its year of foundation. The other banner bears the Latin inscription, "Avemaría Santísima Sin Pecado Concebida En El Primer Instante De Su Ser Natural," emphasizing a devotional aspect and religious significance.

Overall Impression

The overall composition creates a visual statement that speaks to Caracas' rich history, its connection to Spanish colonial heritage, and the enduring symbolism of the city. The design is a powerful blend of military valor, religious devotion, and civic pride, reflected through the use of heraldic language and historical details.

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.
