Försvarets tolkskola Vapen Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms (vapen) of Försvarets tolkskola, the Swedish Defence Interpreter School. The design is a miniature heraldic masterpiece, packed with symbolism and rooted in Swedish military tradition.

Visual Elements

The core of the design is the shield, split vertically ("per pale") into two fields: gold (yellow) on the left and blue on the right. This color scheme immediately connects the emblem to Swedish heraldry, highlighting the school’s national identity.

Within the shield, two ravens are prominently displayed. They are positioned "from each other turned," facing inward. The ravens are rendered in contrasting colors, with a blue raven on the gold side and a gold raven on the blue side. Their beaks and legs are a vibrant red, providing a striking visual contrast.

Crowning the entire design is a regal royal crown, signifying the emblem's formal status and its connection to the Swedish Armed Forces.

Symbolism and Meaning

The ravens are the key symbolic element. Inspired by Norse mythology, and Odin's ravens Huginn and Muninn, they represent wisdom, memory, and thought. For the interpreter school, this is highly relevant, and emphasizes that words and intellect are the school's primary tools. The contrasting colors of the ravens, facing each other, could symbolize the diverse skills and perspectives cultivated within the school.

The heraldic use of the colors gold and blue are also a symbol that ties the school to Swedish national/military heritage. The red beaks and legs add a touch of vivid detail that further distinguishes the ravens, making the entire design more "heraldic".

The coat of arms is not just a visual representation; it's a statement. It conveys the core mission of the Försvarets tolkskola: to train individuals who use words as their weapons.

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.
