Dordrecht Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic coat of arms (wapen) of Dordrecht, a municipality in the Netherlands, a symbol rich with civic pride and historical significance.

The Shield

The primary element of the design is the shield, a vibrant field of red (keel). Bisecting the red background is a vertical stripe of silver (zilver), known as a pale. This simple yet striking red-white-red color scheme, deeply rooted in Dordrecht's history, reflects the colors of the town.

Embellishments and Symbols

Crowning the shield is a golden crown, adorned with fleurons and pearls, representing the dignity and status of the municipality. On either side of the shield stand golden griffins (griffioen). These mythical creatures, with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, are heraldic symbols of courage, strength, and vigilance. They serve as supporters, adding grandeur and further signifying the city's standing.

Historical Context

The colors of the shield are linked to the town's historical use of red and white cloth for officials’ garments, dating back to around 1284. The coat of arms, officially granted in 1816, has evolved over time, with the crown and griffins added later to embellish the shield. Today, this iconic design is a proud emblem of Dordrecht, displayed on buildings and throughout the city, representing its rich heritage.

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.
