Arms of the Cambridge City Council Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of Cambridge City Council, a design granted in 1575 by Queen Elizabeth I. The artwork is rich with symbolism, reflecting Cambridge's deep connection to its past and the River Cam.

The Shield's Elements

The central element of the design is the shield itself. Its vibrant red background, or "Gules," symbolizes strength and the city's spirit. A prominent bridge spans the center of the design, clearly representing the River Cam and highlighting the city's historical dependence on river-based commerce. Above the bridge, a golden fleur-de-lis is flanked by two silver roses, acknowledging the royal connections and the privileges Cambridge has enjoyed over time.

At the base of the shield, the “point wave” depicts three black boats, representing the vital role of river-borne trade in the city's prosperity and growth.

Crest and Supporters

Above the shield, the crest features a silver bridge, further reinforcing the importance of the River Cam. The bridge rests on a green mount. The mantling, or decorative drapery, shows red and silver, mirroring the shield's colors. Two seahorses, acting as supporters, complete the design. Their upper halves are red and lower halves are in the natural colors, and their fins are gold. This maritime imagery further emphasizes the city's historical link to waterways and trade.

The overall composition is a powerful and evocative symbol, telling a story of Cambridge's history, its connection to the river, and its ties to royalty.

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.
