Henry VIII Coat of Arms Shot Glass - Design

This striking shot glass showcases the heraldic splendor of Henry VIII's Coat of Arms, specifically Variant 1 from his early reign as King of England (1509-1533). The design, meticulously reproduced, offers a glimpse into the visual language of Tudor royal power.

The Shield

The central element is the shield, "quarterly" divided into four sections. The first and fourth quarters boldly display the arms of England: three golden lions passant guardant on a red (gules) field, a powerful symbol of sovereignty, courage, and royal authority. The second and third quarters bear the arms of France: three golden fleurs-de-lis on a blue (azure) field, reflecting the English claim to the French throne.

At the heart of the shield lies an "inescutcheon," a smaller shield placed overall, also "quarterly" displaying France and England. This inescutcheon is charged with a crowned Tudor Rose "en surtout." The Tudor Rose, a rose bearing both red and white petals, symbolizes the union of the Houses of Lancaster and York, marking the end of the War of the Roses and the legitimacy of the Tudor dynasty.

Crest and Supporters

Above the shield, the Crest proudly features a crowned Tudor Rose, a direct continuation of the shield’s symbolism. This reinforces the themes of unity and royal lineage. The design also alludes to the potential for the royal crest to incorporate the lion statant guardant or, consistent with English royal heraldic tradition.

The shield is flanked by majestic Supporters: On the right (dexter) stands the Red Dragon of Cadwaladr, representing Henry's Welsh heritage. On the left (sinister) stands a Greyhound argent, symbolizing loyalty, swiftness, and nobility. These supporters emphasize the king's heritage and the qualities he valued.

Overall Impression

The entire composition speaks of power, lineage, and the assertion of royal authority. This elaborate visual statement encapsulates the early reign of a monarch whose legacy is as complex and fascinating as the heraldic design that bears his name.

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.
