Coat of Arms of John Dorsey Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic achievement of John Dorsey, a prominent figure in colonial Maryland. The design is a powerful display of historical symbolism, captured through intricate artistic elements.

The Shield

The central element is the shield, its field colored Azure (blue), representing loyalty, truth, and strength. Across this blue expanse, the design includes a semée (sprinkled) pattern of crosses crosslet, small crosses with each arm crossed at the end. These crosses signify faith and piety. Interspersed among them are three fleurs-de-lis, the stylized lilies of French heraldry, rendered in argent (silver), a color that symbolizes peace, sincerity, and purity. The fleurs-de-lis, in this context, may represent honor or connection to a royal lineage.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest is displayed. This features a black bull's head, cabossed (facing forward), symbolizing strength, courage, and perseverance. The bull's head rests upon a torse, a twisted wreath of fabric in the colors argent (silver) and gules (red). Silver signifies peace and purity, while red represents courage and magnanimity. The torse acts as a visual base, emphasizing the importance of the crest.

Overall Impression

The design as a whole is a testament to the Dorsey family's standing and values, telling a story of faith, strength, and honorable lineage. The heraldic elements are meticulously arranged, resulting in a design that is visually striking and rich with historical meaning. The combination of crosses, fleurs-de-lis, and the powerful bull conveys a story of both noble character and tenacious spirit.

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.
