Arms of West Dorset District Council (England) Shot Glass - Design Details

This shot glass showcases the intricate and symbolic design of the Arms of West Dorset District Council. The vibrant artwork is a miniature representation of the full coat of arms, a powerful visual statement reflecting the history and character of the region.

The Shield

The central element, the shield, is divided in a unique way. The field is "gyronny," meaning it is divided into segments radiating from the center. These segments are colored in a striking combination of green and red. This color scheme represents the diverse composition of the West Dorset district: the red segments symbolize the former boroughs and urban areas, while the green signifies the rural districts, thus unifying the area's urban and rural roots.

A prominent "Saxon Cross" is superimposed over this field. The cross, running across the shield, highlights the historical Saxon heritage of the area, offering a visual connection to the region's historical roots.

The Crest

The crest above the shield depicts a "Sea Wyvern," a mythical dragon-like sea creature, seated prominently. The Wyvern is rendered in silver, with golden wings. This design element directly references the coastal geography and maritime associations central to Dorset. The wyvern grasps an "Ostrich Feather" in its paw, often symbolizing truth, faith, and knowledge. This, within the context of the arms, may represent a local aspiration, a commitment to principles, and the betterment of the region.

The Supporters

The design continues with two additional silver "Sea Wyverns" on either side of the shield, echoing the coastal theme. These sea dragons are "gorged with a Saxon Crown," adding an additional visual layer of heritage and history. The wyverns stand upon a base of graded pebbles, reflecting the natural landscapes and features of West Dorset.

The Motto

While not a visual element, the motto “SERVICE WITH HONOUR” complements the overall design, encapsulating the values that the design seeks to portray.

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.
