Old Arms of the University of Glasgow Pint Glass: A Legacy in Glass

Raise a glass to centuries of scholarship and tradition with this beautifully rendered design, showcasing the historic coat of arms of the University of Glasgow. The intricate artwork transports you back to the university's rich past, echoing its enduring ties to Scotland and the church.

A Shield of Knowledge and Heritage

The centerpiece of the design is the shield, meticulously divided into four symbolic quarters. Within its quadrants, a story unfolds. An open book of knowledge, often emblazoned with the motto "Vera Scientia" (True Knowledge), symbolizes the pursuit of learning at the heart of the university. The iconic Saltire of St. Andrew, the cross of the Scottish patron saint, proudly represents the institution's connection to its homeland.

A bell, a resonant symbol of the original cathedral and the university's historical beginnings, further enriches the shield. Additional ecclesiastical and local symbols such as a tree, or the cross pattée, add layers of meaning that reflect the university's growth and Christian foundation.

Crest and Motto: A Guiding Light

Crowning the shield is a heraldic crest, frequently rendered as a bishop's mitre or helm, signifying the university's origins under ecclesiastical authority. Completing the design, the motto "Via, Veritas, Vita" ("The Way, The Truth, The Life") is often prominently displayed, embodying the university's core Christian and academic ideals. This intricate arrangement creates a visual tapestry, telling a compelling story of history, faith, and the enduring quest for knowledge.

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.
