Coronet of a Scottish District Council 1973-1996 Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the heraldic emblem of Scottish District Councils during the period of 1973 to 1996, a significant symbol within Scottish civic heraldry.

Visual Elements

The design prominently features the coronet, the defining element of the council's coat of arms. It's rendered as a gold (Or) decorative band, referred to as a "circlet." The circlet is intricately ornamented, described as "richly chased" in heraldic terms, indicating an ornate and detailed engraving.

Symbolism and Representation

Rising from the gold circlet are eight gold thistle-heads. The thistle, a traditional symbol of Scotland, is a key element of the design. The specific count of eight thistle-heads (though only portions are visible in a frontal depiction) distinguishes this coronet from those used by other Scottish local government bodies.

The coronet signifies the district council level of local government during the specified period. Its presence on the shot glass acts as a visual representation of this historical administrative structure and the civic identity it embodied within Scotland.

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.
