Valais Old Coat of Arms Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the historical coat of arms of Valais (Wallis), a Swiss canton, as it appeared prior to 1798 during the République des Sept-Dizains (Republic of the Seven Tithings). The design is a striking heraldic representation, rich in symbolism and reflecting the region's historical governance.

Visual Elements

The artwork presents a vertically divided shield, mirroring the heraldic term "per pale." The left half of the shield (dexter) is rendered in silver (argent), while the right half (sinister) is a vibrant red (gules). Contrasting these primary colors are the central elements: seven five-pointed stars, known as mullets, arranged in a balanced configuration.

The stars are "counterchanged," meaning they alternate in color to match the background they rest upon. Three stars appear on the silver field and are rendered in red, while the three on the red field are silver. A single star is centered on the division line of the shield, effectively creating a visually balanced and intriguing composition.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design's core meaning lies in its representation of the seven tithings (dizains) that constituted the Republic. Each star symbolizes one of these administrative divisions: Sion, Conthey, Saint-Maurice, Monthey, Entremont, Hérens, and Bagnes. This emblem served as a visual testament to the region's political structure under the authority of the Bishop of Sion.

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.
