Flag of the Bishop of Sion (Switzerland) Pint Glass 16oz

A vertical split of white and red, this flag carries one of the oldest heraldic colour schemes in the Valais region of Switzerland.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is a plain vertical bicolour. White fills the hoist side and red fills the fly side, meeting along a single straight line. Nothing interrupts the field, so the two colours do all the work. The flat vector treatment keeps the edge crisp, and the balance between the two halves gives the piece a calm, structured presence.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag belonged to the Bishop of Sion, the ecclesiastical ruler of the city in the Valais. Its white and red were later taken up by the municipality of Sion for its own civic flag, so the colours still identify the town today. Tradition holds that the emblem was used as a war banner as early as the 13th century, which places it firmly in the medieval era of Swiss vexillology.

On the Mixing Glass

This glass is a two-in-one piece, serving as both a shaker and a serving vessel, and its clear walls let the colour blocks show through. The bold split suits a glass that is handled often and seen from the side, where the white and red meet in a straight line. It is a fitting vessel for a design that has been carried through the centuries as a badge of 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.
