Försvarets forskningsanstalt (FOA) Coat of Arms Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the Försvarets forskningsanstalt (FOA), the Swedish National Defence Research Institute, a symbol rich in history and meaning.

Central Elements

The design centers around a vibrant blue (azure) shield, emblazoned with several key elements. Dominating the center is a winged, two-bladed propeller, a direct reference to FOA's aeronautical and aviation research. Beneath the propeller, a sword and an anchor are crossed in a saltire (X-shape). The sword powerfully signifies military and defense, while the anchor represents the institute's work in naval and maritime research.

Encircling the Shield

The shield is beautifully encircled by a wreath (chaplet) that is composed of half laurel leaves and half oak leaves, all rendered in a gleaming gold. Laurel, a classic symbol of victory and achievement, is paired with oak, which symbolizes strength. This combination underscores the institute's goals of reaching both scientific and military progress.

Agency of the Swedish Government

Though not present on this particular product, in its original form, the shield is crowned with a Royal Crown, signifying FOA's status as a government agency of Sweden.

Visual Legacy

This design is a timeless testament to the FOA's contributions to Swedish defense and research. The imagery conveys a complex message through simple symbols, representing aviation, defense, and maritime research, all in the service of knowledge and national security.

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.
