Blason ville fr Gant-Empire Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass showcases the heraldic coat of arms, or "blason," of the city of Ghent (Gant in French), as it was officially recognized during the First French Empire under Napoleon.

Artwork & Visual Elements

The central design is dominated by a black shield, known in heraldry as "sable." A silver (white) lion rampant, signifying strength and courage, is emblazoned on this dark field. This lion is the primary emblem of Ghent.

Above the lion, at the top of the shield, is a red band called the "chief." Set against this red background are three golden bees. These bees were a specific heraldic symbol favored during the Napoleonic era, representing the imperial regime.

Meaning & Symbolism

The black shield and silver lion represent the historical identity of Ghent. The lion's posture, "rampant," signifies its readiness for action and symbolizes the city's valor.

The presence of the red chief and golden bees distinguishes this version of the coat of arms as the Imperial version. The bees are a direct nod to the Napoleonic era, symbolizing the influence and rule of the French Empire during the early 1800s. The design is a historical emblem of Ghent's connection to that period.

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.
