Escutcheon of University of Leicester Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the University of Leicester's esteemed coat of arms, a powerful visual representation of its history and values. The design is centered around the escutcheon, or shield, the heart of the heraldic achievement.

The Shield's Elements

The shield itself is a vibrant field of red (Gules), providing a bold backdrop for the central imagery. At the heart of the design, an open book, rendered in its natural colors (Proper), dominates. This book, symbolizing learning and knowledge, is "strapped and buckled", adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship to the depiction. Inscribed upon its pages, in elegant gold lettering, is the Latin motto "Ut Vitam Habeant" (so that they may have life).

Above the book, in the upper portion of the shield (in chief), are two cinquefoils pierced ermine. These five-petalled flowers, depicted in white with distinctive black ermine spots, represent Leicester and Leicestershire, the city and county which the University serves. At the base (bottom) of the shield, a golden horseshoe adds another significant symbol. This horseshoe represents Rutland, reflecting the University's historical reach and connections.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design elements are steeped in symbolism. The open book encapsulates the University's dedication to education and the pursuit of knowledge. The motto "Ut Vitam Habeant" (so that they may have life) encapsulates the University's founding purpose, honoring those lost during WWI, and celebrating the provision of learning. The inclusion of the cinquefoils and horseshoe grounds the design within the local history and geography of the university.

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.
