Escudo de Facatativá (Colombia) Pint Glass 16oz - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the coat of arms of Facatativá, Colombia, a design rich in historical and cultural significance. The artwork is a faithful representation of the officially approved "escudo de armas," a visual narrative of the city's past.

Design Elements

The design features the traditional Spanish-style shield, divided into three distinct sections. At the top, a mural crown, symbolizing civic status and fortitude, crowns the composition.

The upper right section presents a red field ("campo de Gules") showcasing the head of an indigenous person, adorned with a vibrant feather headdress. This element pays tribute to the pre-Columbian Muisca peoples who were the original inhabitants of the region.

In the upper left, a silver field ("argent" or "plata") displays a silver helmet with gold and red plumes, superimposed on crossed silver spears. This signifies the Spanish conquest and the influence of the colonial era.

The lower section depicts the "Cercado de los Zipas," an enclosure or fence of the Zipas (Muisca rulers), set against a backdrop of a blue sky. This element highlights a significant historical site and the Muisca administration's legacy.

A flowing ribbon bearing the city's name, "Facatativá," appears at the base of the shield, solidifying the design's connection to the city's identity.

Meaning & Symbolism

The overall composition is a tapestry of symbolism, each element carefully chosen to reflect Facatativá's unique heritage. The indigenous head represents the pre-Colombian era and the Muisca peoples. The helmet and spears represent the Spanish conquest and the subsequent cultural fusion. The "Cercado de los Zipas" symbolizes the city's historical importance under Muisca rule. The red field likely signifies strength, while the silver field represents peace.

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.
