Flintshire Shield Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of Flintshire, a region in Wales, United Kingdom. The design is rich with symbolism, reflecting the area's heritage and values.

The Shield's Core Elements

The central element is a striking white (argent) field, crossed by a black (sable) cross. This cross isn't a simple shape; it's intricately designed with engrailed edges (scalloped) and fleury ends (shaped like fleurs-de-lis), adding visual complexity. Positioned between the arms of the cross are four Cornish choughs, depicted in their natural colors (proper), adding a vibrant touch. At the cross's center is a mascle, a voided diamond shape, and flanking them are four silver discs (plates), which further adorn the design.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design is steeped in historical significance, originating with Edwin of Tegeingl, an 11th-century ruler. The black cross with its unique features, and the choughs, are traditional elements from these early arms. The additional plates and central mascle were added later during the formal granting of the arms.

The Crest and Motto

Above the shield, the crest features a demi-dragon, representing Welsh heritage. This red dragon holds an ostrich feather, often associated with heraldry and hinting at princely connections. Finally, the motto, "Gorau Tarian, Cyfiawnder," translated as "The best shield is justice," emphasizes the importance of fairness and integrity within the region.

The overall composition provides a captivating glimpse into the history and values of Flintshire, captured within a single, striking design.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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.

Theyโ€™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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
