Afgewezen ontwerp van het provinciewapen Gelderland II 1893-1941 Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases a fascinating piece of Dutch history: the "Afgewezen ontwerp van het provinciewapen Gelderland II 1893-1941" – the "Rejected design of the provincial coat of arms of Gelderland." This design represents a "what-might-have-been," a proposed coat of arms for the province that never gained official approval.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The artwork, based on a historical document preserved on Wikimedia Commons, presents a full heraldic achievement. While the precise details of the rejected design are not fully elucidated, it undoubtedly encompasses a shield, and a helm, potentially complete with lambrequins, and likely utilizing specific colors. These elements would have been chosen in accordance with heraldic principles and would have, at the time, represented the essence and aspirations of the province of Gelderland.

The rejected design’s symbolism is inherently one of alternative identity. Instead of the golden lion on a blue field of the official coat of arms (derived from the historic Duchy of Guelders), this design embodies a different visual representation, a potential visual narrative for Gelderland that was ultimately deemed unsuitable for official use.

This shot glass offers a tangible connection to a piece of Gelderland's past, presenting a unique heraldic statement and an intriguing glimpse into the province's history.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
