Arms of the West Sussex County Council 1889-1975 Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of the West Sussex County Council, a design that served as the visual emblem of the English county from 1889 until 1975. The design, steeped in heraldic tradition, tells a story of the region's history and heritage.

Design Elements

The central element of the design is a shield, its surface rendered in a vibrant blue field (azure). Scattered across this field are six golden martlets, stylized heraldic swallows. These are arranged in a specific pattern: three in the top row, two in the middle, and a single martlet at the bottom, creating a visually balanced and distinctive composition.

The top portion of the shield, known as the chief, is rendered in gold (or). This area features a depiction of a Saxon crown, presented in its natural colors. The crown adds a regal touch, emphasizing the region's historical significance.

Symbolism

The elements of this coat of arms are laden with symbolism. The six martlets, representing the historic divisions of Sussex known as "rapes," symbolize the administrative and geographic structure of the county. The placement and number of these birds reinforce the unity of the county while highlighting its diverse roots.

The Saxon crown represents the area's rich Anglo-Saxon history, specifically its connection to the Kingdom of the South Saxons, underlining the deep-seated heritage woven into the fabric of West Sussex.

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.
