The Crown symbol could not be placed on pint glasses between 2006 and 2020 reference regulation 21(2) of The Capacity Serving Measures (Intoxicating Liquor) Regulations 1988 which states - "No capacity serving measure shall be stamped if it bears any other mark which, in the opinion of the inspector, might reasonably be mistaken for the stamp or an expression of approval or guarantee of accuracy." If the crown was simply decoration of the glass it might have been permitted.
