Fergusson of Kilkerran Arms (New Zealand) Shot Glass Design

This striking shot glass features the distinguished coat of arms of the Fergusson of Kilkerran family, a heraldic emblem with strong ties to New Zealand through Sir Charles Fergusson, former Governor-General. The design showcases the rich history and symbolism of the Fergusson clan.

The Shield

The central element of the design is the shield, a classic heraldic form. The background, rendered in a vibrant azure blue, provides a dignified foundation for the main charges. Dominating the blue field is a gleaming silver (argent) buckle, centrally positioned. Surrounding the buckle are three gold (or) boars’ heads, precisely cut off (couped) at the neck. The boars’ heads, positioned with balanced symmetry, represent courage, bravery, and ferocity.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest presents a symbolic depiction. A red (gules) chapeau, representing nobility, is topped with ermine fur, a sign of purity and honor. Upon this sits a bee, naturalistically colored, perched upon a thistle. The bee symbolizes industry and community, while the thistle is a direct reference to Scottish heritage.

The Supporters and Compartment

The shield is flanked by two majestic griffins, rendered in gold (or), with red (gules) beaks and claws, symbolizing vigilance and guardianship. They stand upon a compartment embellished with poplar seedlings. The poplar seedlings contribute to the overall visual balance and are representative of growth and posterity.

The Mottoes

Two distinct mottos are presented. The first, "Dulcius Ex Asperis" (Sweeter after difficulties), embodies resilience and triumph over adversity. The second, "Ut Prosim Aliis" (That I may be of use to others), reflects the family's commitment to service and benevolence. Both mottos are crucial to the overall meaning.

The design, meticulously crafted, evokes a sense of heritage and valor. It's a visual celebration of the Fergusson of Kilkerran family's legacy and their connection to Scotland and New Zealand.

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.
