Wapen Alphen (Netherlands) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the elegant coat of arms of Alphen aan den Rijn, a municipality in the Netherlands, officially adopted in 2014. The design is a striking representation of the town's history and heritage.

Shield and Composition

The centerpiece of the design is a silver (white) shield, providing a clean backdrop for the heraldic elements. Dominating the center is an eight-pointed black star, known as a mullet, positioned centrally. This star is a direct link to the historical arms of the Van Alphen family, a prominent family in the region, grounding the design in its past.

The Supporters

Flanking the central emblem are two golden lions, depicted in a rampant pose, meaning they are standing upright on their hind legs. These lions are meticulously rendered, complete with red tongues and claws, adding a vibrant touch of color. The lions historically support the central emblem, and together, the design conveys a sense of strength, nobility, and the enduring spirit of Alphen aan den Rijn.

Meaning and Symbolism

The elements of the coat of arms are laden with symbolism. The silver shield represents purity and peace. The black star likely held meaning particular to the Van Alphen family. The gold lions, signifying courage, bravery, and royalty. This carefully composed design is a powerful symbol of Alphen aan den Rijn's rich history and its forward-looking identity.

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.
