Arthur Hamilton-Gordon Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic achievement of Arthur Hamilton-Gordon, 1st Baron Stanmore, a prominent figure in British colonial administration and a former Governor of New Zealand. The design is a visual representation of his personal coat of arms, a symbol of his lineage and identity.

Shield (Escutcheon) Design

The primary focus of the design is the shield, which is divided into four sections, known as quarters. This quarterly arrangement indicates a combination of family heraldry.

Quarter 1 and 4

The first and fourth quarters feature a blue (azure) background with three boars' heads that have been cleanly cut off (couped). These are positioned within a double tressure, a decorative border, adorned with alternating floral emblems. These emblems are roses, thistles, and fleurs-de-lis, all in gold (or). This section represents the Gordon family.

Quarter 2 and 3

The second and third quarters are within a black (sable) border. Within these sub-quarters, the design further divides to show: The first and fourth sub-quarters have three ermine-pierced cinquefoils (five-leafed flowers), which are represented in red (gules). This is the Hamilton symbol. The second and third sub-quarters include a sailing ship (lymphad), in black (sable) on a silver/white (argent) background, which represents Arran.

Tinctures and Symbolism

The artwork utilizes a specific palette of heraldic colors, known as tinctures. These colors (azure, sable, gules, argent, and or) are integral to the meaning. The boar's heads signify courage, the tressure and its emblems represent royal favor, the cinquefoils suggest nobility, and the lymphad symbolizes naval prowess and links to the Arran island heritage. The combined effect is a visual story of family, heritage, and distinction.

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.
