Middle Coat of Arms of Charles V Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the majestic Middle Coat of Arms of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, also known as Charles I of Spain. The design is a powerful visual representation of the vast and diverse realms ruled by the emperor between 1530 and 1556.

The Imperial Shield

At the heart of the design is the shield, a golden field (Or) bearing the imposing black double-headed eagle, the unmistakable imperial emblem of the Holy Roman Empire. This central element immediately identifies Charles V's position as Emperor.

The Inescutcheon: A Tapestry of Kingdoms

Nested within the eagle's chest is the escutcheon, a smaller shield intricately quartered. Each quarter symbolizes a significant territory under Charles V's rule: Castile and León, Aragon and Sicily, Austria, and Burgundy. Additionally, smaller shields represent Flanders (lion), Tyrol (red and white pattern), Brabant (lion), Pomerania (griffin), Burgundy (cross), Granada (pomegranate), Jerusalem (gold cross), Naples (red cross), and Navarre (chain). This arrangement highlights the complex political landscape of 16th-century Europe, with each element a symbol of Charles V's dynastic inheritance and territorial control.

Imperial Embellishments

Above the shield, the design incorporates the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire as a crest, reinforcing the emperor's sovereignty. Flanking the shield are supporters: a black eagle, representing the Holy Roman Empire, and a lion, symbolizing the Kingdom of Spain. Their presence emphasizes the duality of Charles V's rule. The Grand Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious chivalric order, further enhances the coat of arms' regality.

The Motto

Finally, the design prominently features the motto "PLVS VLTRA" ("More Beyond"). This reflects Charles V's awareness of the New World and celebrates the spirit of exploration and expansion, specifically commemorating Columbus's discovery.

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.
