Shield of Cardiff Metropolitan University Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the iconic design of the Cardiff Metropolitan University's coat of arms, a powerful emblem of heritage and academic values.

The Shield's Quartered Design

The centerpiece is the shield itself, rendered in its classic heraldic form and divided into four distinct quadrants, each representing a facet of the university's identity. This quartered design speaks to the breadth of the institution's academic disciplines and its multifaceted history.

Symbolism and Color Palette

The artwork utilizes the traditional heraldic colors, imbuing the design with layers of meaning:

  • Azure (Blue): Evokes loyalty, truth, and wisdom, representing the core values of the university.
  • Argent (Silver/White): Signifies purity and knowledge, directly linked to the pursuit of scholarship.
  • Or (Gold): Represents excellence and generosity, highlighting the university's commitment to high standards.
  • Gules (Red): Conveys courage and strength, embodying the spirit of the institution and its students.

Detailed Elements within Each Quarter

Each quarter of the shield is carefully detailed:

  • First Quarter: Features a castle or tower, a clear nod to Cardiff and its rich local heritage, showcasing civic pride.
  • Second Quarter: Incorporates open books, symbolizing learning, the pursuit of knowledge, and academic scholarship.
  • Third Quarter: Contains geometric patterns and chevrons, reflecting concepts like structure, progress, and engineering.
  • Fourth Quarter: Presents artistic or symbolic motifs, representing creativity and a broad range of academic disciplines.

Overall Representation

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.
