Arms of William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling Shot Glass: Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the intricate and historically significant coat of arms of William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling, a key figure in the early colonization of Nova Scotia.

Heraldic Details

The design features a quarterly arrangement of heraldic elements. The first and fourth quarters display the arms of the Alexander family, represented by a field split per pale (vertically halved) argent (silver) and sable (black), with a chevron (inverted V-shape) and a crescent moon in base (at the bottom), their colors counterchanged (reversed). The second and third quarters depict the arms of Stirling, incorporating a gold (or) field with a black (sable) lymphad (ship) between three red (gules) crosses crosslet bottony fitchée (crosses with three rounded arms and a pointed base), arranged two and one.

Symbolic Significance

The central element, in the point of honour, is a silver (argent) escutcheon bearing the Nova Scotian flag. This signifies William Alexander's pivotal role in the province's founding and establishes his connection to Nova Scotia.

The various elements carry meaning: the chevron and crescent reflect the Alexander family lineage. The lymphad (ship) and crosses crosslet bottony fitchée are the traditional elements of the Stirling family arms.

This meticulously designed shot glass allows for appreciation of the rich history encapsulated within this complex heraldic design and the historical significance of William Alexander.

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.
