FIN COA Alopaeus (Russia) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases a distinguished heraldic design, drawing upon the coat of arms of the noble Alopaeus family, later part of the Russian aristocracy. The artwork presents the core elements of the Alopaeus blazon, instantly recognizable to those familiar with the family's history and heraldry.

The Shield & Core Elements

The central design element is a shield with a blue (azure) background. A prominent gold (Or) diagonal band, or bend, elegantly traverses the shield from the lower-left to the upper-right. A black key, its teeth facing right, rests upon this golden band, symbolizing authority, guardianship, and perhaps stewardship, reflecting the family’s noble standing.

Supporting Symbols & Crest

Instead of the two "Reichsthaler" coins found in the original design, this version, reflecting the later comital status, features a single silver star positioned above the bend. Below the bend, a silver double cross further elevates the design. The shield is crowned with a count’s coronet.

Above the shield, and not represented here, is a rising silver swan with a gold five-pointed star (often described as a "northern star") above its head. The swan crest suggests grace, purity, and transformation. The star above the swan may symbolize guidance or high aspirations.

Symbolism & Meaning

The overall composition is imbued with symbolism. The gold bend speaks to lineage and honor, the key representing authority. The swan, along with the star, adds elements of elegance and aspiration. The inclusion of the count’s coronet, single star, and double cross emphasizes the higher nobility of the family.

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.
