George Monckton-Arundell Arms (New Zealand) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the heraldic achievement of George Monckton-Arundell, 8th Viscount Galway, who served as the Governor-General of New Zealand. The design is a powerful statement of lineage and noble identity, meticulously rendered to reflect the original armorial.

The Escutcheon (Shield)

The central element is the shield, a visual tapestry of the Viscount's ancestry. It's quartered, featuring the heraldic symbols of both the Arundell and Monckton families. The first and fourth quarters display the Arundell arms: a black field adorned with six silver swallows, arranged in a traditional pattern. The second and third quarters bear the Monckton arms, with a black chevron set between three gold martlets, and adorned with three black mullets (stars).

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest presents two distinct elements. A swallow, mirroring those from the Arundell quarter, rests atop a blue chapeau (hat) lined with ermine. Beside it, a single martlet, from the Monckton arms, symbolizes the heritage of the family.

Supporters & Motto

The shield is flanked by two majestic unicorns, symbols of purity and strength. These creatures are rendered in ermine, with golden horns and hooves. They wear Eastern diadems, emphasizing the Viscount's status. Below it all is the motto: "Famam extendere factis" ("To extend my fame by deeds").

Symbolism and Meaning

The design resonates with meaningful symbolism. The swallows and martlets, key elements in the heraldry, are associated with notions of hope, new beginnings, and prosperity. The unicorns embody strength and purity, befitting the Governor-General's role. The overall design is a comprehensive narrative of the Viscount's heritage and the values associated with it.

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.
