Glasgow Caledonian University Coat of Arms Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the heraldic splendor of Glasgow Caledonian University's coat of arms, a design meticulously crafted by artist Malcolm Lochhead. The artwork is a vibrant testament to the university's history, values, and Scottish heritage.

The Shield: A Visual Narrative

Dominating the design is the university's shield, a rich tapestry of symbolic elements. At the top, two imposing golden lions passant guardant stand proudly, embodying strength and courage. The central shield features a striking blue saltire, a diagonal cross representing Scotland. Adorning the saltire are five ermine spots, further emphasizing the institution's Scottish roots.

Below, two golden keys are crossed in saltire, a visual metaphor for the unlocking of knowledge. A robust green oak tree rises from the base, symbolizing strength and endurance. Perched on the oak is a robin redbreast, a charming detail that signifies the university's connection to the natural world.

The Crest and Motto

The shield is surmounted by an open book, its pages illuminated with the letters "G C U," representing the importance of knowledge and learning. Encircling the entire composition is the motto "FOR THE COMMON WEAL," a declaration of the university's commitment to the public good.

Symbolic Elements Unveiled

Each element of the design carries significant weight:

  • Lions: Strength and courage.
  • Saltire and Ermine Spots: Scottish heritage and tradition.
  • Crossed Keys: The unlocking of knowledge.
  • Oak Tree: Strength and endurance.
  • Robin Redbreast: Connection to the natural world.
  • Open Book with "G C U": Knowledge and learning.
  • Motto: Commitment to the public good.

The overall effect is a visually rich and meaningful representation of Glasgow Caledonian University, a design that speaks volumes about its history, values, and dedication to its community.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” 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 / β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” 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.
