Gästrikland Vapen Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass showcases the distinguished coat of arms (vapen) of Gästrikland, a historical province in Sweden. The design is a vibrant representation of the region's unique identity and heritage, rendered with meticulous detail.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central figure is a majestic red moose, the “älg,” positioned prominently within the design. This moose symbolizes the rich wildlife and the natural environment that defines Gästrikland. The moose's presence connects the design directly to the province's ecological heritage.

The background, or "field," presents a striking visual contrast. A silver (white) base is sprinkled with numerous blue roundels, or "pellets," creating a distinctive and eye-catching pattern. This combination is a signature heraldic feature, setting Gästrikland's coat of arms apart and establishing a recognizable provincial identity.

Further enhancing the moose, its antlers are rendered in gold. The use of gold symbolizes strength and majesty, elevating the moose and adding a noble touch to the entire design.

Historical Resonance

The design’s origin dates back to 1560, granted during the reign of King Gustav Vasa. This historical context imbues the shot glass with a sense of tradition, linking it to centuries of Swedish history and cultural representation. The coat of arms, as a whole, acts as a visual embodiment of the province's heritage and its enduring place within Sweden.

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.
