Arms of Oxfordshire County Council 1949-1976 (England) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of Oxfordshire County Council, granted in 1949 and a powerful emblem of the county's heritage.

The Arms: A Detailed Look

At the heart of the design lies a shield. The background is a vibrant blue (azure), immediately referencing the renowned University of Oxford. Across the blue field, two elegant white (argent) wavy lines, known as bendlets, gracefully curve. These represent the life-giving River Thames and its tributaries that shape the landscape.

Above the bendlets, a golden (or) garb (wheatsheaf) and, below, a golden oak tree, are depicted. These elements pay homage to Oxfordshire's rich agricultural tradition and its beautiful woodlands. At the center of the shield, a striking red (gules) ox's head is prominently displayed, a direct nod to the county town, Oxford.

The Crest: A Symbol of Governance

The design extends beyond the shield with the addition of the crest. Rising from a red (gules) mural coronet (symbolizing municipal authority) is a green mount (vert). Upon this mount stands a detailed representation of St. George's Tower, a key component of Oxford Castle. This historical imagery connects the design to the roots of the county's governance.

Supporters and Motto

The design is complemented by two Oxford Down rams (proper) on either side, which are a further homage to the region's agricultural past. Each ram wears a blue collar, adorned with a white wavy line.

The design is finished with the motto "Sapere Aude" ("Dare to be wise"), an inspirational message, emphasizing the region's deep connection to learning and intellectual pursuits.

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.
