Glasgow Caledonian University Coat of Arms Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the prestigious coat of arms of Glasgow Caledonian University, a heraldic emblem designed by artist Malcolm Lochhead, rich with symbolism reflecting the institution's values and history.

Shield of Honor

The central design is dominated by the shield, a canvas of meaningful elements. At the top, two golden lions passant guardant stand proudly, embodying strength and courage. The heart of the shield features a blue saltire, a diagonal cross, a direct nod to Scotland's heritage, embellished with five elegant ermine spots.

Adding layers of meaning, two golden crossed keys, positioned in saltire, symbolize the unlocking and acquisition of knowledge. A robust green oak tree, a timeless emblem of strength and endurance, takes root within the design. Perched upon the oak tree is a charming robin redbreast, representing the university's connection to the natural world.

Beyond the Shield

Above the shield, an open book serves as a crown, its pages illuminated with the letters "G C U," a clear representation of knowledge and learning. The entire design is encircled by the motto "FOR THE COMMON WEAL," encapsulating the university's dedication to serving the public good.

Symbolism in Detail

Every element contributes to a rich tapestry of meaning: the lions symbolize strength and courage; the saltire and ermine spots reflect Scottish heritage; the crossed keys represent the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge; the oak tree stands for strength and endurance; the robin redbreast signifies a connection to nature; and the open book with "G C U" is a beacon of learning.

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.
