Arms of Durham County Council 1961-1974 (England) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the heraldic arms of Durham County Council as used from 1961 to 1974, a design steeped in history and symbolism. The dominant visual element is the shield, the heart of the coat of arms.

The Shield: A Canvas of Meaning

The shield's foundation is a field of Azure, or blue, a color associated with loyalty and truth. Upon this field, a striking Cross Or, or golden cross, is displayed prominently, reflecting the deep Christian faith historically prevalent in the region.

Four fierce Lions Rampant Argent, silver lions, are arranged around the cross. Each lion is depicted in a state of rampant fury, a symbol of courage and strength. They are adorned with Ducal Crowns Or, golden crowns, signifying the council's heritage derived from the Bishopric of Durham.

In the dexter claw of each lion, a Sword in Bend Sinister Proper is grasped. These swords, with golden pommels and hilts, represent justice and the authority of the council.

Interspersed between the cross and the lions are five Lozenges Sable, or black diamonds. This element serves as a visual nod to the historical significance of the coal mining industry within the region.

The Crest: Civic Authority

The shield is surmounted by a Mural Crown Or, a golden crown representing municipal authority and highlighting the council's role in governing the area.

The overall design is a powerful statement of heritage, faith, strength, and the industrial past of Durham County, encapsulated within a striking and meaningful visual representation.

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.
