Arms of South Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic achievement of the South Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council, a powerful emblem of the region's history and identity. The design is rich with symbolism, making it a captivating piece for anyone interested in heraldry or local heritage.

The Arms: A Foundation of Industry and Heritage

The central element, the Arms, dominates the design with its striking visual contrast. A black field (sable) forms the backdrop, a direct reference to the coal mining industry that shaped South Yorkshire. Across this field, a dynamic pattern of red and white zigzags (barry dancetty argent and gules) represents the steel industry, specifically the heat processing involved in steel production. Overlaid on this is a pile reversed with another pile that is counterchanged, further adding visual depth.

At the center of the design, the white rose of York (rose argent) is prominently displayed. This traditional emblem of Yorkshire is included, symbolizing the region's heritage and its enduring unity with the larger county.

The Crest: Wealth and Symbolism

Rising above the shield, the crest offers another layer of symbolism. A white rose of York (rose argent), echoing the design on the shield, is combined with a gold coin (bezant). This combination represents both the moral and material wealth of South Yorkshire, reflecting the prosperity derived from its industries.

The Supporters: Agriculture and Mining

Completing the design are the supporters, two figures that flank the central shield. On the dexter (right) side, a golden horse guardant, holding a red hoe (gules), represents the agricultural aspect of the region's economy. On the sinister (left) side, a black lion guardant, supporting a miner’s pick-axe (gules), stands as a powerful symbol of the mining industry that defined South Yorkshire's industrial past.

Overall, this design is a detailed representation of the coat of arms. It encapsulates South Yorkshire's rich industrial past, its connection to the traditions of Yorkshire, and the historical foundations on which the region was built.

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.
