Blason ville Hirel 35 (France) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate design of the official coat of arms (blason) of Hirel, a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department of Brittany, France. The design is a miniature replica of the heraldic shield, rich with historical and symbolic meaning.

Visual Elements and Their Significance

The primary visual element is a silver or white background (argent) upon which the other elements are displayed. Across this field is a broad blue diagonal band (barre d'azur), creating the first distinct feature. Nestled near the bottom of the shield is a small, red cross pattée (croisette pattée de gueules), its shape representing the historical association of Vildé-la-Marine with the Knights Templar/Hospitallers.

At the top of the design, a smaller shield (inescutcheon) provides another layer of heraldic detail. This inescutcheon features a blue background (azure), with a silver diagonal stripe (bend argent) traversing it. The stripe is punctuated by three red roundels or discs (torteaux). A six-pointed silver star (étoile à six rais d'argent) is positioned above the inescutcheon, completing the composition.

Historical Context and Symbolism

The inescutcheon within the larger design is especially significant, as it represents the arms of the Toullier de la Ville Marie family, who played an important role in the history of Hirel. The red cross pattée, a notable element at the shield's base, serves as a poignant reminder of the commune's historical ties to the Knights Templar/Hospitallers and the village of Vildé-la-Marine.

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.
