Escudo de Potosí (Bolivia) Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass showcases the majestic Escudo de Armas de Potosí, a powerful emblem of Bolivian history and heritage. The design is a faithful reproduction of the coat of arms granted to the city in 1575 by King Felipe II of Spain, reflecting Potosí's immense significance during the colonial era.

Central Elements and Symbolism

Dominating the design is the intricate shield, divided into distinct sections. At its heart, an imperial, double-headed eagle, crowned and meticulously rendered, proclaims the authority of the Spanish Empire. Its gaze sweeps eastward and westward, symbolizing the far-reaching influence of the Habsburg rulers.

Below the eagle, the shield is further divided. The upper portion features three prominent castles, representing the kingdoms of Castilla, León, and Navarra, all key components of the Spanish crown. Below them, a regal lion rampant, a heraldic symbol of courage and royalty, adds another layer of symbolic richness.

Supporting Details and Meaning

A banner unfurls below the central shield, bearing the Latin inscription: "CAESARIS POTENTIA PRO REXIS PRUDENTIA ISTE EXCELSUS MONTIS ET ARGENTUS ORBEM DEBELLARE VALENT UNIVERSUM". This translates to "The power of the emperor by the prudence of the king, this mount and silver are able to conquer the entire world," a testament to Potosí's wealth derived from the Cerro Rico silver mines.

The design is further enhanced by a royal crown, majestically placed above the shield, symbolizing the city's privileged status and close ties to the monarchy. Flanking the shield are elegant laurel and palm fronds, representing glory and achievement, further cementing the shield's historic importance.

The artwork, in its totality, creates a striking visual narrative of Potosí's pivotal role in history, celebrating its era of prosperity and marking the city's enduring identity.

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.
