Selwyn College Shield Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the esteemed coat of arms of Selwyn College, Cambridge, a design steeped in history and symbolism.

Heraldic Elements

The design is a direct representation of the official arms granted to the college. The shield is divided vertically (per pale). The left (dexter) half presents the arms of the See of Lichfield, which are central to Selwyn College's origins. This side features a striking cross potent quadrate, flanked by four crosses paty. The crosses on the left are silver (argent), while those on the right are gold (or), creating a balanced and visually engaging composition.

The right (sinister) half of the shield bears the arms of the Selwyn family. This side includes a bend cotised (a diagonal stripe with bordering lines) with three annulets (gold rings). A border (bordure) in black (sable) frames the entire composition, further enhancing the design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The central element, the cross potent quadrate, signifies strength and fortitude, reflecting the Christian heritage of the College. The crosses paty, a common heraldic device, often represents Christian faith and dedication. The Selwyn family's arms, with their unique elements, represent the lineage and connection to George Augustus Selwyn, the college's namesake. The combination of these arms on the glass beautifully embodies the College's ties to the Diocese of Lichfield and the Selwyn family.

The detailed representation of this historical design ensures that every sip is taken with a sense of connection to the rich history and traditions of Selwyn College.

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.
