Escudo de Galcerán Albanell Pint Glass: A Heraldic Masterpiece

This pint glass showcases the richly detailed coat of arms (escudo) of Galcerán Albanell, Archbishop of Granada from 1561 to 1626. The artwork presents a visually compelling composition, brimming with historical and symbolic significance.

A Quartered Shield of Lineage and Office

The core of the design is the quartered shield, expertly blending family heraldry with ecclesiastical symbols. Each quadrant tells a story:

  • Albanell Family: One quarter features a majestic eagle on a gold field, a nod to the Albanell lineage from Catalonia.
  • Durall Family: Three golden fish, arranged vertically on a red field, likely represent the maternal line of Durall.
  • Catalan Heritage: Alternating red and gold vertical bars pay homage to the Crown of Aragon and Catalan royal heritage.
  • Wing and Crenelated Border: Another quarter features a wing and a crenelated border on a gold field, representing another family line or lineage.
  • Central Escutcheon: A smaller shield ("in escutcheon") at the center displays three crowned heads on a gold field, possibly referencing another family or allegiances.

Ecclesiastical Insignia and Symbolic Framework

Above the shield, the Archbishop's insignia is prominently displayed, signifying his high ecclesiastical office. This includes a green galero (hat) with tassels, and a processional cross behind, reinforcing his status as a spiritual leader.

Meaning and Interpretation

The overall design is a powerful statement of Galcerán Albanell's identity. The coat of arms cleverly unites noble origins with his high ecclesiastical office. The inclusion of family arms (eagle, fish) identifies the diverse lineages he descended from, while the ecclesiastical insignia (green galero, tassels, cross) signals his status as a bishop.

This intricate design provides a window into the history, genealogy, and symbolism associated with the Archbishop of Granada, making this pint glass a fascinating and historically rich piece.

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.
