Broeksterwâld Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate heraldic design of the Broeksterwâld coat of arms, a symbol rich in history and local meaning.

Visual Elements and Their Significance

The design features a golden (yellow) field, representing the sandy soil that forms the foundation of the village. Central to the composition is a stylized alder tree, a direct reference to the "wâld" element of the village's name, which translates to swamp woodland, where alder trees flourish. The tree is depicted with five leaves, and catkins, serving as botanical symbolism.

A wavy base dominates the lower portion of the design, with black and blue bands. The black wavy elements symbolize the "broek," or marshy, swampy ground, a defining characteristic of the landscape referenced in the village’s name. The blue wavy stripe represents the Broekstervaart canal, a crucial waterway historically used for the transportation of peat.

In the upper portion, you'll find delicate chicory flowers, a nod to the area's agricultural history, particularly the cultivation of chicory.

Heraldic Symbolism Unpacked

The design elements are steeped in heraldic meaning. The gold field symbolizes generosity and the local sandy terrain. The alder tree and its branches reflect the natural environment and the “wâld” part of the village's name. The black wavy bands represent the "broek" or marshy ground. The blue wavy band symbolizes water/peat transport via the canal. The chicory flowers signify the cultural and historical agricultural significance.

The overall composition is a microcosm of Broeksterwâld, capturing its geographical context, natural elements, and historical development.

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.
