Alphen aan den Rijn 1918 Coat of Arms Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass features the historical coat of arms of Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands, as officially granted in 1918. The design is a striking representation of the town's heritage and municipal identity.

Visual Elements

The central element is a white (silver) shield, a classic heraldic form. Dominating the shield's face is a bold black (sable) eight-pointed star.

Above the shield rests a golden crown, symbolizing the elevated status of Alphen aan den Rijn as a municipality. Flanking the shield are two golden lions, common supporters in heraldry, adding further visual richness.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design's key element, the black eight-pointed star, is the historic symbol of the noble Van Alphen family, a branch of the Van Kralingen family. This star serves as a direct link to the town's historical roots. The coat of arms, therefore, represents the heritage of the founding families.

The golden crown signifies the town’s official municipal status. The golden lions, supporting the shield, add to the design’s elegance and significance as a symbol of the municipality.

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.
