Shield of the University of Nottingham Pint Glass - Design Overview

This pint glass showcases the esteemed coat of arms of the University of Nottingham, a visual embodiment of its rich history and enduring values. The design is meticulously rendered, capturing the intricate details of the official heraldic blazon.

The Shield: A Symbolic Canvas

The central element is the shield, the heart of the design. Its background features a "barry wavy" pattern of six alternating silver (argent) and blue (azure) stripes, reminiscent of the flow of water and potentially alluding to the River Trent which runs nearby. A striking "cross moline" in red (gules) anchors the design, a traditional heraldic symbol, its curling ends evoking a sense of motion and dynamism.

The Chief: Knowledge and Aspiration

Above the shield, the "chief" (the top third) commands attention. It is a field of red (gules), providing a bold backdrop. Here, an open book, rendered in its natural colors (proper), symbolizes the university's commitment to learning and scholarship. The book is clasped in gold (Or) and bears the inscription "Quaerenti Ostium" in black (sable) Roman characters, a phrase signifying "To the Seeking (One) the Entrance." Flanking the book are two domed towers, also depicted in their natural colors (proper), representing the university's buildings and architectural heritage. The tower on the right (dexter) is crowned with a silver (argent) crescent moon, and the tower on the left (sinister) is topped with a gold (Or) star, representing aspirations and knowledge.

The overall design is a powerful statement of heritage, education, and aspiration, meticulously adapted to this pint glass.

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.
