University of Essex Arms Pint Glass

Raise a glass to the University of Essex with this exquisitely rendered pint glass, showcasing the institution's official Coat of Arms. The design tells a story of heritage, scholarship, and local pride.

The Shield: A Foundation of History and Learning

The central element of the design is the shield, dominated by a vibrant red field. Dominating this field are three seaxes, stylized short Saxon swords, positioned vertically with their cutting edges pointing upwards. These silver seaxes, with gold hilts and pommels, are a direct reference to the County of Essex and the historical 'East Saxons'. Crowning the shield is an open book, its pages a rich brown, edged and bound with seven shimmering gold clasps. This book symbolizes the core mission of the university: learning and the pursuit of knowledge. The seven clasps represent the traditional seven liberal arts, embodying the breadth of academic study.

The Crest: A Symbol of Local Spirit

Above the shield, the crest offers another layer of symbolism. A majestic wyvern, a two-legged dragon-like creature, stands proudly upon two crossed oak branches, with verdant leaves and fruit, all rendered in naturalistic colors. The oak branches pay homage to the local landscape, echoing the forests and parkland surrounding Colchester and within the county. An annulet, a silver ring, is threaded through the oak branches. This clever visual pun, 'wyvern-O', subtly incorporates the university’s name into the design.

A Timeless Design

This pint glass encapsulates the University of Essex's core values and unique history, offering a visual representation of the university's identity. From the historical roots in the seaxes, through the commitment to learning in the open book, and the embracing of the local landscape with the oak branches, this design is a celebration of both heritage and contemporary academic endeavor.

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.
