Escudo de Santiago de León de Caracas Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the iconic coat of arms of Caracas, Venezuela, originally named Santiago de León de Caracas. The design is a vibrant representation of the city's rich history and Spanish colonial heritage.

Visual Elements & Representation

The central element is a majestic brown (natural/pardo) lion rampant, powerfully positioned against a field of silver (argent). The lion holds a golden scallop shell, within which resides the prominent red Cross of Santiago, a powerful symbol of Saint James ("Santiago").

Above the shield, a golden crown, adorned with five points, adds an air of regal dignity and underscores the city's standing under the Spanish Crown. A banner bearing the city's name, "Santiago de León de Caracas," along with the founding year, "1567," is prominently displayed.

Behind the shield, crossed war trophies, including halberds, swords, and cannons, stand in saltire (X-shaped), suggesting valor and the city's importance.

Symbolism & Meaning

The lion is a direct reference to the "León" portion of the city's name, translating to "lion" in Spanish. The scallop shell and the Cross of Santiago pay homage to Saint James, the patron saint, representing pilgrimage, the Order of Santiago, and the city's historical connection to the Spanish Crown.

Adding to the significance is the motto inscribed in 1766, which honors the Immaculate Conception, highlighting the city's strong religious ties. The crown and the war trophies further emphasize Caracas's status and significance under the Spanish Empire.

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.
