Blason de Kontich (Belgique) - Verre à Shot 4,5cl - Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms (Blason) of Kontich, a municipality in Belgium. The design is a faithful representation of the official heraldic emblem, offering a glimpse into the region's rich history and symbolism.

Field of Stripes

The primary visual element is the shield's field, composed of nine vertical stripes (pales). These stripes alternate between vibrant red (gules) and radiant gold (or). This striking pattern is directly derived from medieval regional arms, historically connected to the Lords of Berthout and the County of Mechelen, echoing Kontich's deep-rooted heritage.

Central Escutcheon (Heart Shield)

Superimposed over the striped field is a smaller shield, an escutcheon, which further enriches the design. This escutcheon is divided in two (per fess), showcasing two distinct sections of heraldic symbolism.

Upper Half: A Symbolic Cross

The upper half (chief) of the escutcheon is a field of red (gules). Upon this red field is prominently placed a silver (argent) Latin cross. This signifies elements connected to the Franco y Feo family, the last lords of Kontich in the 18th century, adding a touch of nobility and historical context.

Lower Half: A Majestic Lion

The lower half of the escutcheon features a field of blue (azure). At the heart of this blue field stands a majestic gold (or) lion. This heraldic lion, also from the arms of the Franco y Feo family, conveys strength, courage, and further links the design to Kontich's past.

A Heraldic Legacy

This complete design, granted in 1849 and confirmed later, is a testament to Kontich's history. The shot glass design encapsulates the town's enduring legacy, showcasing a powerful symbol representing the community's heritage through its historical connections, heraldic symbols, and vibrant colours.

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.
