ESCUDO DE POTOSI 1565 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the iconic Escudo de Potosí, a heraldic emblem granted to the city of Potosí, Bolivia in 1565. The design vividly captures the rich history and symbolism of this important coat of arms.

Central Design: The Cerro Rico

The centerpiece of the design is the majestic Cerro Rico de Potosí. Rendered in a field of gold, the mountain is depicted with a prominent vein of silver, representing the city's vast mineral wealth, particularly its silver abundance. This element powerfully conveys Potosí's role as a vital mining center during the colonial era.

Imperial Accents: The Eagle and the Toisón

Dominating the design is the imperial double-headed eagle. Crowned and regal, it symbolizes the power of the Habsburg monarchy, who ruled Spain at the time. Above the shield, the eagle holds an inner shield displaying the royal arms of Spain, a clear declaration of imperial authority. The eagle also bears the collar of the prestigious Order of the Golden Fleece, further emphasizing the honor and significance of the emblem.

The Latin Motto

A banner below the central design features the Latin motto: "CAESARIS POTENTIA PRO REXIS PRUDENTIA ISTE EXCELSUS MONS ER ARGENTEUS ORBEM DEBELARE VALENT UNIVERSISUNT." This translates to "The power of the emperor through the prudence of the king, this mountain and silver are capable of conquering the entire world." This potent statement of power and prestige further highlights the importance of Potosi to the Spanish Empire.

A Symbol of Identity

The design faithfully reproduces the historical details and symbolic power of the Escudo de Potosí, encapsulating the city's rich heritage and celebrating its enduring legacy.

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.
