Flag of Catania Italy - Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

This design is the municipal flag of Catania in Sicily, a bold red emblem set on a solid blue field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue fills the field and red carries the emblem, so the two colours do nearly all the work. The city's coat of arms sits at the centre, with the red elephant known locally as u Liotru and a red capital letter A for Saint Agatha. The legend S.P.Q.C. is part of the coat of arms. The layout is flat, bold and simple, with a strong colour contrast that reads at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The elephant, u Liotru, is the city's oldest and most recognised symbol. The red letter A honours Saint Agatha, the city's patron. S.P.Q.C. stands for Senatus Populusque Catanensium, the Senate and People of Catania, a phrase borrowed from Roman tradition. The coat of arms was officially recognised on 11 August 1934, and the flag stands for civic pride and Sicily's long heritage.

Turning With the Glass

A pint glass wraps a tall curved surface, so the elephant and the saint's letter come round one after the other as the glass is turned in the hand. Printed on the frosted finish, the blue and red take on a soft, semi-translucent look that keeps the bold colour blocks clean.

Frosted pint glass (16 oz / ≈0.47 L) with a soft matte finish and semi-translucent, one-sided print. Tough enough for bar and restaurant use, dishwasher safe, and BPA-free — a modern take on classic pintware.

These pints are mouth-blown-style glass finished with a satin frost that mutes glare and gives art a soft, tactile presence. The print sits atop the frosted surface to create a semi-see-through effect — the look subtly shifts depending on lighting and what's poured inside.

Because the print is slightly translucent, pale drinks let more light through and darker pours create stronger contrast. That interplay gives each serving a small visual surprise — useful in hospitality settings or retail displays where the drink and the glass play off each other.

  • Material: 100% glass with a matte, frosted finish for a low-reflective, premium feel.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint, ≈0.47 L).
  • Print: one-sided wraparound, semi-translucent finish that changes with light and liquid.
  • Care: dishwasher-safe for everyday service (see Care tab for tips).
  • Use cases: retail shelves, bar service, event glassware, or merch racks — suitable for single units or larger orders.

These glasses work well for chilled beers, craft pours, iced cocktails and cold brew — anywhere you want an elegant, understated presentation. The frosted surface hides minor fingerprints and softens the silhouette of the drink inside.

  1. Serve: fill with cold beverages; the semi-translucent print will interact with the drink color for subtle variation.
  2. Display: stack or line them on back bar shelving where soft lighting emphasizes the frosted texture.
  3. Stocking: sell individually or as a set; their neutral look fits many menu styles and venue aesthetics.

Tip: if you plan themed pours (pale ales, lagers, dark stouts), test a sample to see how each drink’s hue changes the printed artwork’s visibility.

Dishwasher-safe for routine cleaning — use a standard household cycle and avoid very high-heat commercial programs when possible. Placing glasses mouth-down on the rack reduces risk of chipping during wash cycles.

For best longevity, hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent and dry immediately with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive scouring pads and harsh chemical cleaners that can dull the frosted finish or wear printed areas over time.
