UoY CoA Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the updated Coat of Arms (CoA) of the University of York, a striking emblem steeped in history and academic symbolism.

The Arms: A Shield of Knowledge

The central design, the shield, features a rich blue background, an azure field. This traditional heraldic color subtly suggests qualities like loyalty, truth, and the pursuit of wisdom. Across the shield lies a chevron, a symbol often representing protection or achievement, patterned with ermine fur. The ermine fur, a symbol of dignity and scholarly prestige, provides a striking contrast.

Within the chevron, three golden books are laid horizontally, each meticulously depicted with two clasps. These books represent the core of the University's purpose: learning and scholarship. The specific number of books and their clasps might hold internal meanings linked to the University's foundation or its diverse academic faculties.

The Crest: A Crown of Keys and the White Rose

Above the shield, the crest offers a more complex and visually captivating element. It begins with a mural crown, a silver "castle wall" that signifies a well-established institution and hints at the city's defenses. From the crown emerge two crossed keys, one gold and one silver, their wards pointing upwards and outwards. These keys, powerful symbols of knowledge, hint at unlocking mysteries and opening paths to wisdom, authority, and security.

Dominating the design, at the center of the crest, is the White Rose of York, with green sepals and the appropriate seeds. This elegant rose, rendered in its natural colors, powerfully connects the University to its city heritage. It is a symbol that resonates with York's rich history and unique identity.

The Motto: A Threshold of Wisdom

While not directly rendered in the visual design, the motto "In limine sapientiae" ("On the threshold of wisdom") underscores the University's central mission. It reinforces the symbolism of knowledge, exploration, and the journey toward learning, which the glass design so beautifully represents.

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.
