Arms of Berkshire County Council Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic artistry of the Arms of Berkshire County Council, used from 1961 to 1974. The design is a vibrant testament to the county's history, royal ties, and heritage.

The Shield

The central element, the shield, is dominated by a blue field ("Azure") adorned with two golden lions ("lions passant guardant"), mirroring the royal lions of England, immediately signifying Berkshire's strong connections to the monarchy. A distinctive "bordure embattled" – a border that resembles the battlements of a castle – encloses the scene, a visual reference to the numerous castles found within the county, with Windsor Castle being a prime example.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest is displayed. It depicts a majestic stag ("stag at gaze") rendered in gold, standing before an oak tree with its characteristic acorns ("fructed proper") on a green mount ("mount vert"). This arrangement pays homage to the county's woodland areas, hunting traditions, and, by derivation, the badge of the Royal Berkshire Militia.

The Supporters

Flanking the shield are the supporters. On the dexter (right, as viewed) side is a red lion ("lion gules"), a symbol of strength. It wears an ancient crown, emphasizing the royal connections and carries a Tudor rose on its shoulder, which, coupled with the other elements, underscores the county's historical links to the monarchy. On the sinister (left) side, a white horse ("horse argent") is presented, recalling the famed Uffington White Horse. It is also crowned with an ancient crown and carries a black pile (a wedge-shaped element) in reference to the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell.

The overall design is rich with symbolism and historical significance, making this a powerful emblem of Berkshire County.

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.
