Coat of Arms of Joseph Matthäus Ball - Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Joseph Matthäus Ball, maternal grandfather of George Washington, a prominent figure in colonial Virginia. The design is a faithful representation of the Ball family's heraldry, a testament to their English heritage and status in the New World.

The Shield

The central element of the design is the shield, its field rendered in Argent (silver), symbolizing purity and peace. Dominating the shield is a lion passant guardant sable, a black lion walking with its head turned to face the viewer. The lion, a classic symbol of courage, strength, and royalty, is depicted in a commanding pose, signifying the Ball family's fortitude.

The Chief

Above the shield, the chief (upper section) is in Sable (black), representing constancy and grief. Adorning the chief are three six-pointed stars argent (silver), symbolizing honor and aspiration. These stars add a touch of celestial elegance to the design.

The Crest

The crest, placed above the shield, features a stag trippant proper – a natural-colored stag walking. The stag, representing peace, harmony, and gentleness, adds a graceful element and further enriches the overall visual composition.

The Motto

Finally, the Latin motto, "Coelum tueri" ("Heaven protect"), encircles the whole design, which underscores the family's values of divine protection and hope.

The combined elements of the shield, chief, crest, and motto create a powerful and meaningful statement. It is a visual celebration of the Ball family's history, their values, and their lasting legacy.

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.
