The design, a quarterly shield, is divided into four distinct sections, each telling a story of lineage and heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Shield: A Quartered Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe first and fourth quarters of the shield bear the arms of the Assheton-Smith family. These quarters are counter-quartered, featuring a blue field with two gold bars between three gold pheons, representing readiness and military preparedness. Within these same quarters, secondary sections display a silver field with a black, pierced mullet (five-pointed star), symbolizing noble qualities and divine goodness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe second and third quarters are dedicated to the Duff family. They feature a green field with a horizontally zig-zag band in ermine (a pattern of black and white), indicating land or a geographical feature, and conveying dignity. Above this band is a stag's head, signifying peace and harmony, while below are two gold escallops, the shells representing pilgrimage and travel. All these elements are enclosed within a border chequy, a border of alternating gold and blue squares that may reflect alliances or cadency differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eCrest Imagery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe full armorial achievement traditionally includes three crests. For Smith: two embowed arms emerging from a mural crown holding a pheon. For Assheton: a mower cutting grass (a reference to agricultural connections). For Duff: a buck’s head erased (a stag head severed cleanly at the neck). The crest is not directly rendered on the shot glass but is part of the overarching design symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eSymbolic Depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe artwork encapsulates the rich symbolism of heraldry, with each element carefully chosen to reflect the history and values of the Duff family and their connection to the Assheton-Smith lineage. The design is a testament to the family's history, their values, and their achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"1.5oz","offer_id":51473572823320,"sku":"20627720327830688367","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/blason-family-duff-of-vaynoll-park-england-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-15oz-15oz-position1.webp?v=1768375030","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/blason-family-duff-of-vaynoll-park-england-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-1-5oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
