Vorst-Forest Wapens (Belgium) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the heraldic splendor of Vorst-Forest, a municipality within the Brussels-Capital Region of Belgium. The design is a direct representation of the municipality's official Coat of Arms, a symbol rich in historical and cultural significance.

The Shield's Divide

The design is strikingly divided vertically into two distinct halves, mirroring the traditional heraldic "per pale" division. This creates a visually balanced composition, immediately catching the eye.

Dexter Side: The Crozier

On the left (dexter) side of the shield, a prominent golden crozier stands against a pristine white (argent) background. The crozier, a staff with a curved top, signifies the Abbey of Forest, a historically important religious institution that played a key role in the area’s development.

Sinister Side: The Crowned Trees

The right (sinister) side presents a vibrant display featuring three green trees, their roots exposed (eradicated), against the same white (argent) backdrop. Each of these trees is crowned with a golden crown, a detail that adds an element of regal flair.

Symbolism in Detail

The three trees symbolize the three original villages – Forest, Saint-Gilles, and Uccle – that coalesced to form the modern municipality. The golden crowns atop each tree are believed to denote the historical importance and relative autonomy of these villages, further enhancing the historical narrative woven into the design.

A Legacy in Glass

This design is more than just a collection of shapes and colors; it's a visual embodiment of Vorst-Forest's heritage. The heraldic elements – the crozier, the trees, and the crowns – work together to tell a story of religious influence, community origins, and enduring historical significance.

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.
