DEU Elberfeld COA Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms (Wappen) of Elberfeld, a former independent town in Germany, now part of Wuppertal. The design is a bold statement of local heritage, rooted in centuries of history.

Visual Elements & Representation

The central figure is a striking red Bergische Lion, a heraldic emblem of strength and courage, and a symbol closely associated with the historical County of Berg. This imposing lion, with its distinctive double tail, is rendered with blue arms and a blue crown, adding detail and visual interest. The lion is set against a pristine silver (white) shield, providing a clear and classic background.

The lion holds a black gridiron, a crucial element of the design. This gridiron is the attribute of Saint Lawrence (Laurentius), the patron saint of Elberfeld, and a direct reference to the manner of his martyrdom. The gridiron serves as a potent symbol of the town's religious and cultural identity.

Symbolism & Meaning

The red Bergische Lion represents the historic ties of Elberfeld to the County of Berg, emphasizing the town's regional origins and historical power. The lion's strength and heraldic presence convey a sense of pride and historical significance.

The gridiron further enriches the design by signifying the town's dedication to its patron saint and its deep connection to its religious and cultural roots. The combination of the lion and the gridiron provides a complete and powerful heraldic identity.

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.
