This core emblem, dating back to at least 1623, is a striking representation of the city's rich heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eDesign Elements and Meaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe central visual element is the shield itself, rendered in vibrant detail. The field of the shield is gold (represented by yellow), providing a rich backdrop for the other heraldic elements. Dominating the design are three red chevrons, arranged vertically across the shield. These chevrons are derived from the arms of the influential de Clare family, medieval Earls of Gloucester, symbolizing their historic rule over the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSurrounding the chevrons are ten red roundels, known in heraldry as \"torteauxes.\" Arranged in a pattern of three, three, three, and one, these roundels likely represent the historical ties between Gloucester and the Bishop of Worcester, the diocese that historically included the city. Together, the chevrons and torteauxes tell a visual story of Gloucester's past, reflecting both its secular and ecclesiastical connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe design adheres precisely to the heraldic blazon, or description, of the arms. The colors and arrangement of the elements are meticulously followed, ensuring authenticity. This shot glass is a miniature celebration of the city's heraldic history and visual identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"1.5oz","offer_id":51359112528152,"sku":"69059260652624693577","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/coa-of-city-of-gloucester-minor-england-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-15oz-15oz-position1.webp?v=1768429623","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/coa-of-city-of-gloucester-minor-england-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-1-5oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
