Gonville & Caius College Crest Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the prestigious heraldry of Gonville and Caius College, a cornerstone of Cambridge University's rich history. The design is a faithful representation of the College's Coat of Arms, a symbol of its enduring legacy.

The Shield

The prominent element of the design is the quarterly shield. The upper left and lower right quarters display the arms of Gonville: a white (Argent) field, featuring a red (Gules) chevron between three blue (Azure) crescents. This segment represents the original Gonville Hall, emphasizing the College's foundational roots.

The upper right and lower left quarters reflect the influence of John Caius with a blue (Azure) field charged with three intricate, golden (Or) estoiles, or stars. This section signifies the refounding of the college by Caius, highlighting the union of the two historical entities.

The Crest

Above the shield, the design incorporates the crest: a rearing antelope rendered in its natural color (Proper), collared and chained in gold (Or). This elegant emblem symbolizes strength and resilience, with the golden collar and chain adding a touch of prestige and historical significance.

Overall Symbolism

The combined elements of the design speak to the dual heritage of the College. The contrasting fields and emblems within the shield visually represent the merging of Gonville Hall and Caius’s influence. The crest reinforces the identity, representing a legacy built on academic excellence and a determined pursuit of knowledge, echoing the College's motto: "Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam" ("I will either find a way or make one"). The artwork embodies the history and values of Gonville and Caius College.

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.
