Escudo de Moniquirá Pint Glass - Design Overview

Raise a glass to the rich history and vibrant identity of Moniquirá, Colombia, with this stunning pint glass featuring the Escudo de Moniquirá – the municipality's coat of arms. The design, meticulously rendered, captures the essence of this historical emblem.

The Shield

At the heart of the design lies the shield, a traditional Spanish-style form, divided into five distinct sections. Each section tells a story:

  • The upper-left quarter features a red field symbolizing sacrifice and freedom, crossed by a black diagonal band bearing three gold stars, honoring the valor of local hero Antonio Ricaurte.
  • The upper-right quarter presents a scene of the "city of the bath" in the indigenous Chibcha language, representing Moniquirá's name. It depicts water waves, a palm tree, mountains, and a rising sun.
  • The lower-left quarter, in green, showcases sugarcane and sugar-mill wheels in gold, reflecting the agricultural heart of the municipality, particularly its sugarcane production.
  • The lower-right quarter, in blue, displays a gold obelisk, a monument to unity and Bolivarian ideals, created by local artist Eduardo Malagón Bravo.
  • At the bottom, a small triangular section, known as the "escudete", features a copper pan on a red field, representing the municipality's mineral wealth and its identity as the "sweet city," famous for its sweets.

The Bordure and Supporters

The shield is encircled by a bordure, a border composed of ten alternating gold and silver pieces, symbolizing the richness and integrity of the Province of Ricaurte, to which Moniquirá belongs. On either side, two rearing lions stand as supporters, their presence representing the strength and valor of the Moniquirá people. They stand over half-garlands of coffee branches, highlighting the municipality's significance as a Boyacá coffee producer.

Crest and Cimera

Above the shield, a warrior's helmet serves as the crest, evoking heroism and glory. Surmounting the helmet is a "pendón cola de Milano," a swallow-tailed banner bearing a sun, a powerful symbol of hope, brightness, and aspirations for prosperity.

This intricately designed pint glass is more than just a drinking vessel; it's a visual celebration of Moniquirá's history, culture, and enduring spirit.

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.
