Franekeradeel Wapen (Netherlands) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the intricate coat of arms, or 'wapen', of the former municipality of Franekeradeel in Friesland, Netherlands. The design is a vibrant representation of the region's history and heritage, meticulously crafted with heraldic precision.

The Shield's Quarters

The central element is a shield, divided into four distinct quarters. The first quarter features a striking gold bell against a blue background, a symbol directly taken from the original Franeker arms. The second and third quarters each display three vibrant red roses on a gold field, a nod to the older Franekeradeel coat of arms. The fourth quarter is itself divided: the upper portion features a golden wheatsheaf on blue, borrowed from the arms of Barradeel. The lower portion displays a wavy division of gold and blue, representing the region's relationship with water.

Crowning Glory and Supporters

Above the shield sits a golden crown, adorned with three leaves and six pearls. The shield is supported by two regal figures. On the right, Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, stands with her helmet, shield, and spear, a tribute to the region's academic history, while on the left, Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, holds a bundle of grain, celebrating the area's agricultural roots.

Symbolism and History in Design

The design is rich with symbolism. The bell signifies Franeker, the roses represent Franekeradeel prior to the merger, the wheatsheaf honors Barradeel, and the wavy lines underscore the importance of water. The choice of goddesses emphasizes the values of wisdom and agricultural prosperity. The entire arrangement, a visual encapsulation of the region’s past and identity, makes this shot glass a truly unique and meaningful piece.

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.
