Shield of the University of Leeds (Coat of Arms) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the esteemed coat of arms of the University of Leeds, a heraldic emblem imbued with rich symbolism.

The Shield (Escutcheon)

At the heart of the design lies the shield, a verdant green field (Vert) representing the university's dedication to growth and learning. Central to the design is an open book, rendered in natural colors (Proper), its pages edged and clasped in gleaming gold (Or). Inscribed across its pages is the Latin motto "Et augebitur scientia," a powerful statement emphasizing the pursuit and expansion of knowledge.

In the upper section of the shield, the chief, are three radiant silver/white stars (mullets Argent). These are adopted from the coat of arms of the city of Leeds, reflecting the institution's close ties to its home city and its historical roots. Positioned at the base of the shield, a white rose (Proper) with a seeded and barbed design symbolizes Yorkshire, the county where the university is situated, and its strong regional identity.

The Crest

Above the shield, the design incorporates the crest. A wreath of silver/white and green provides the base for a striking Greek sphinx in red (Gules). The sphinx, a classically inspired figure, symbolizes wisdom and mystery, underscoring the university's academic aspirations and its connection to classical heritage.

Overall Impression

The overall design is a sophisticated and historically rich presentation of the University of Leeds’s official coat of arms. The artwork's deliberate use of colors and symbolic elements creates a visual narrative of knowledge, regional pride, and classical learning.

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.

One size: 16 oz (≈0.47 L). Below are product dimensions to help with shelving, storage, and packaging choices.
