Arms of Poole Borough Council (1948-1976) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of the Poole Borough Council, a striking emblem steeped in maritime history and local significance. The design, granted by the College of Arms in 1948, presents a visually compelling and symbolic representation of Poole's heritage.

The Shield (Arms)

The shield is the centerpiece of the design. Its background features a striking pattern of eight wavy bars, alternating between black (Sable) and gold (Or). This "barry wavy" design symbolizes the sea, instantly evoking Poole's close relationship with the ocean and its maritime past. A silver (Argent) dolphin, gracefully arched (naiant embowed), swims across the shield, further reinforcing the town's seafaring interests. The dolphin's tongue is colored red (Gules), adding a touch of vibrant detail. A gold (Or) "Chief" (upper section) tops the design, featuring three black scallop shells (Escallops). These shells are the emblem of Saint James, signifying the historical pilgrimage routes that departed from Poole Harbour.

The Crest

Surmounting the shield is the crest, adding another layer of symbolic detail. The crest features a mermaid, depicted in her natural colors ("proper"), holding a classic anchor without a beam in her right hand, symbolizing Poole's naval heritage and its Mayor's title as "Admiral of the Port of Poole". In her left hand, she holds a cannonball or Pellet. This image celebrates the strength and importance of Poole within the nation's naval efforts.

Together, the shield and crest create a cohesive and meaningful design, a visual narrative of Poole's maritime history, civic pride, and connection to the sea.

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.
