Shield of Arms of Australia 1912 - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the iconic shield from the Coat of Arms of Australia, officially adopted in 1912, a powerful visual representation of the newly federated nation. The design centers on the heraldic shield, a traditional escutcheon shape with a curved top and pointed base, prominently displayed to capture the essence of Australian unity and identity.

A State-by-State Celebration

The shield's design is ingeniously quartered, dividing the space into six distinct sections, each a heraldic emblem of an Australian state. This arrangement emphasizes the coming together of individual states into a single unified nation. Each quadrant presents a unique visual element, reflecting the history, fauna, and character of the states they represent.

  • New South Wales: Distinguished by a red St. George's cross on a white background, featuring a golden lion passant at its heart.
  • Victoria: A blue field adorned with the Southern Cross constellation beneath a crown.
  • Queensland: A white canvas showcasing a blue Maltese cross, crowned with regal authority.
  • South Australia: Defined by a gold (yellow) field with a prominent piping shrike bird.
  • Western Australia: Distinguished by its gold (yellow) field and a striking black swan.
  • Tasmania: A white expanse featuring a regal red lion passant.

Symbolism & Meaning

The design adheres to traditional heraldic conventions, using contrasting colors and symbolic imagery. The division into six sections is a direct symbol of the unity among the Australian states. The state emblems are chosen to celebrate the diverse history, natural beauty, and identity of each state. The inclusion of crowns reinforces the historical ties to the monarchy and a sense of authority. This glass is a celebration of history, identity, and the unity of a nation.

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.
