Coat of Arms of Gunning Bedford Jr. Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Gunning Bedford Jr., a Founding Father and signer of the U.S. Constitution. The design is rich in heraldic symbolism, offering a glimpse into Bedford's lineage and personal ideals.

The Shield

The central element is the shield, rendered in Argent (silver) as its background. Encircling the shield is a bordure engrailed, a border distinguished by its inward curves. Within the shield's silver field are three bear's paws, erased (cut off), depicted in Sable (black). The bear's paws likely symbolize strength, courage, and perhaps a connection to a family heritage.

The Crest

Above the shield sits the crest, a demi-lion rampant Sable (a black lion standing on one hind leg). This powerful image symbolizes courage, nobility, and leadership. The lion is murally crowned Or (gold), indicating honor and distinction. Between its paws, the lion holds a bezant (a gold coin), suggesting wealth, prosperity, or perhaps the rewards of a spirited life.

Motto

Although not visually represented on the shot glass, the accompanying motto, "Animum fortuna sequatur"—"Fortune follows the spirited"—underscores the values behind the coat of arms. It emphasizes the importance of courage, perseverance, and a proactive approach to life's challenges, tying together the visual elements of the shield and crest.

Overall, the design is a testament to Bedford's legacy. It captures the essence of his historical significance and his personal values, making this shot glass a visual reminder of American history and the pursuit of a spirited life.

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.
