Escutcheon of Trinity University College Carmarthen Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic achievement, or coat of arms, of the former Trinity University College Carmarthen. The design is a vibrant representation of the college's history and values, encapsulated within the traditional form of an escutcheon (shield).

The Shield's Elements

The primary field of the shield is Azure, a rich blue, providing a dignified backdrop for the central imagery. At the heart of the design lies a pen and ink-horn, rendered in Argent (silver), signifying scholarship, learning, and the written word. These tools of academic pursuit are carefully detailed and tied with a cord of Or (gold), adding a touch of prestige and importance.

Dominating the upper portion of the shield is a Chief, a horizontal band, of Or (gold). Upon this chief are three cinquefoils (stylized five-petaled flowers) of Sable (black). The cinquefoils are a direct reference to the College's arms, carrying within them a wealth of meaning and institutional history.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall composition speaks to the academic focus of Trinity University College. The pen and ink-horn are a direct symbolic link to education, the act of writing, and the dissemination of knowledge. The colors, chosen in heraldic tradition, add further layers of significance. The blue often symbolizes truth and loyalty, while the gold represents generosity and elevation of the mind.

The inclusion of the cinquefoils, taken from the earlier arms of the college, contributes the weight of tradition. Their specific meaning is deeply embedded in the history of the institution.

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.
