Escudo de Zipacón Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the captivating Escudo de Zipacón, the coat of arms of Zipacón, Colombia. The design is a vibrant visual tapestry of history, geography, and cultural identity.

Top Tier: The Regional Horizon & Zipacón's Identity

At the top, a black circle represents the "horizon comarcal" (regional horizon). Within the circle, the name "Zipacón" is boldly spelled out in red letters, immediately establishing the identity and origin of the emblem.

Beneath the Circle: A Sun and Ancestral Connections

Below the circle, a radiant sun shines on a yellow background, symbolizing the “god of their ancestors,” a direct connection to the pre-Columbian beliefs of the region.

Central Elements: Freedom, Daily Life, and Industry

The design features broken chains, a powerful symbol of freedom and liberation, commemorating the local hero, José Antonio Rubio, and his role in emancipating enslaved people. A vibrant green background showcases key elements of daily life: the town's church (temple), a traditional thatched-roof house, and a hoe (azadón), all representing the rural character and agricultural roots of Zipacón. Also incorporated are two blocks of coal representing the historical coal wealth in the region. A railway line, traversing the shield, highlights the infrastructural development of the area.

The Base: A Legacy of Tears & Discovery

The name and motto, "Llanto del Zipa" ("Cry of the Zipa"), are direct links to Zipacón's Muisca heritage. The "Zipa" was a Muisca ruler who came to this place to meditate in sadness. The date of the discovery of the indigenous settlement, by Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, is also inscribed, anchoring the design in historical context.

Overall Symbolism

The overall design is rich in symbolism. It pays homage to the region's Muisca heritage and its history of social justice, while simultaneously celebrating its agricultural and industrial character. This glass is a stunning visual representation of Zipacón's past, present, and enduring cultural 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.
