Torfaen COA Shield Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the official Coat of Arms of Torfaen County Borough Council, a visual representation of the area's rich heritage and natural features in South East Wales. The design is a vibrant tapestry of heraldic elements, meticulously arranged to tell a story of the region.

The Shield: A Quartered Emblem

The shield itself is divided into four distinct quarters, each contributing to the overall symbolism. The first and fourth quarters feature a black diamond (lozenge) bearing a golden sheaf of wheat (garb), representing the agricultural heritage of Torfaen. The second and third quarters display a black crow (raven) with outstretched wings, grasping a golden Japanese-style vase, a detail rich in local significance.

The Fess: River and Valley Symbolism

Across the center of the shield runs a white horizontal band, known as a fess. This band is charged with two wavy blue lines, symbolizing the rivers and valleys that shape the landscape of Torfaen, further connecting the coat of arms to its geographic origin.

The Crest: Rising Sun Over the Hills

Above the shield, the crest depicts a golden sun in splendor rising over a range of green hills. This striking image is encircled by a band of golden wheat sheaves and black diamonds, echoing the themes of agriculture and the natural landscape already established in the shield itself. The crest provides a sense of dynamism and renewal to the design.

Overall Design: A Unified Narrative

Together, these elements create a unified narrative, visually representing the history, the natural environment, and the community spirit of Torfaen. The design is a sophisticated and compelling display of heraldic artistry, telling a story through its carefully chosen symbols and colors.

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.
