Escudo del Municipio Andrés Bello (Venezuela) Pint Glass 16oz - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the intricate design of the official Coat of Arms (Escudo) for the Municipality of Andrés Bello, located in Mérida, Venezuela.

Visual Overview

The design features a shield, "medio partido y cortado," meaning it is divided vertically and then horizontally. The shield is edged with a gold border. A prominent gold band, bearing the inscription "MUNICIPIO ANDRÉS BELLO" in black lettering, bisects the shield.

Upper Elements: Crest and Quarters

Above the shield, acting as a crest, are fruit-bearing branches, symbolizing the municipality’s fertile land. Centered in the crest is a portrait of Don Andrés Bello, the municipality’s namesake, based on a historical painting. Above the portrait, four gold stars represent the municipality's four parishes.

The shield itself is divided into three distinct sections, or quarters. In the right quarter (dexter), a green background is dominated by a young bull, representing the area’s livestock and dairy farming. The left quarter (sinister), features a white/silver background crossed by a black diagonal bar, and is embellished with symbols of key agricultural products such as maize, plantains, yucca, and papaya, highlighting the rich agricultural heritage of the region.

Lower Element and Supporting Details

The lower section of the shield displays a gold-degraded background and depicts an oil rig with workers in production, representing the significance of oil extraction in the area. The entire shield is supported by a tricolor ribbon, with colors of terra-ocher/gold/terra tied in the middle as a bow. The ribbon bears the date "26 de febrero de 1995," marking the founding date of the municipality. Emerging from the knot of the ribbon are a maize plant stalk on the left side and a plantain leaf on the right, further reinforcing the theme of fertile land production.

Symbolic Meaning

The design as a whole is rich with symbolism. The portrait of Andrés Bello honors the municipality’s namesake. The four stars pay tribute to the municipality's parishes. The agricultural imagery (bull, crops) emphasizes the area's agricultural importance. The oil rig represents the region’s key product. The inscription on the gold band confirms the shield's official status.

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.
