Färla Bengt Nilsson Vapen Hela Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the full coat of arms, or "hela vapen," of Bengt Nilsson of the Färla family, a Swedish noble lineage. The design presents a striking heraldic display, distinct from the national symbols of Sweden.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element is the shield, emblazoned with the distinctive device of the Färla family. The shield displays "Två korslagda färlor," which translates to "two crossed färlor." A "färla" is a wooden paddle used for corporal punishment, a symbol both striking and historically relevant.

The design extends beyond the shield to the complete coat of arms, incorporating the helmet, the flowing mantling that drapes from it, and the torse, a twisted band of cloth. This comprehensive representation offers a rich visual tapestry of heraldic tradition.

Symbolism and Meaning

The use of the crossed färlor – the paddles – is the core symbolic element. This unusual choice of arms directly references a tool of discipline and punishment, offering a glimpse into the historical identity of the Färla family. It serves as a stark emblem of historical reality.

The inclusion of the entire coat of arms, including the helm and mantling, amplifies the significance, creating a potent symbol. It speaks to the family's legacy and how the arms have been used. The choice of the färlor stands out as particularly striking in comparison to the more common motifs seen in heraldry.

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.
