Van Mildert College, Durham University Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the striking coat of arms of Van Mildert College, Durham University, a design rich in history and symbolism.

The Shield

The central element is the shield, its background a vibrant red (Gules). Dominating the field are two scythe blades, crossed in an "X" formation (saltire). At the top, in the "chief" position, sits the silver (Argent) Cross of St Cuthbert, a prominent emblem of both Durham City and the University itself.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest presents a castle featuring three black towers (sable), a common heraldic symbol of strength and historical significance, potentially referencing Durham's historic castle and cathedral. In front of the castle sits a penannular brooch, a traditional Celtic design, in silver (proper), with the ends of the brooch adorned with gilded Crosses of St Cuthbert. This brooch design further reinforces the college's connection to local ecclesiastical heritage.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design elements are carefully chosen to reflect the college's heritage. The red field and the scythe blades represent the episcopal arms of Bishop William Van Mildert, the college's namesake. The inclusion of the Cross of St Cuthbert throughout the design highlights the college's deep ties to Durham City and the University's history.

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.
