Wapen Amsterdam (Coat of Arms) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the iconic coat of arms of Amsterdam, a symbol steeped in history and significance. The design prominently features the city's official heraldic emblem, a visual representation of Amsterdam's heritage and its enduring spirit.

The Shield

At the heart of the design is the shield, described in heraldic terms as "Gules, a pale Sable charged with three saltorels Argent in pale." This translates into a vibrant red background (Gules) bisected by a vertical black stripe (Pale Sable). Adorning the black stripe are three silver (Argent) Saint Andrew's crosses (saltorels), arranged one above the other.

Symbolism of the Elements

The crosses are a direct reference to the city's namesake saint, Saint Andrew, and also represent the Persijn family, influential lords of Amsterdam in the late 13th century. The black stripe is believed to symbolize the Amstel River, the lifeblood of the city around which Amsterdam grew. The red background adds a bold, striking contrast to the other elements.

Imperial Crown and Supporters

Crowning the shield is the Imperial Crown of Austria, a symbol of Amsterdam's historical connection to the Holy Roman Empire, a reward for the city's financial support. Flanking the shield are two golden lions, rampant (standing upright), added in the 16th century, resting on a stone pedestal, adding to the grandeur of the design.

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.
