Almere wapen (Netherlands) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the official coat of arms, or "wapen," of Almere, Netherlands. The design is a vibrant representation of the city's unique history and identity, deeply rooted in its relationship with water and land reclamation.

Shield Elements

The central design is dominated by the shield, split into black (sable) and red (gules) fields, echoing the historical connection to Amsterdam. At the heart of the shield, a medieval cargo vessel known as a kogge sails across stylized blue waves. This imagery connects Almere to its maritime past and the former Zuiderzee.

The kogge's sail bears a striking blue field adorned with a white lily, a tribute to Cornelis Lely, the engineer whose work was pivotal in the creation of Flevoland, where Almere is located.

Supporting Details

The shield is flanked by heraldic sea-horses, mythical creatures that combine the attributes of a horse and a fish, reinforcing the city's bond with water. Above the shield, a golden crown, adorned with three leaves and two pearls, signifies the municipal authority of Almere.

Symbolism

The design, as a whole, is rich in symbolism. The colors reflect Almere's ties to Amsterdam. The kogge symbolizes maritime trade and the influence of the sea. Finally, the lily honors Cornelis Lely's fundamental role in the creation of the land upon which Almere stands. This combination presents Almere as a modern Dutch city shaped by water and the legacy of land reclamation.

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.
