Gonville & Caius College Crest Monochrome Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the monochrome version of the Gonville & Caius College crest, a distinguished emblem of the Cambridge institution. The design is a simplified, yet powerful, representation of the college's full heraldic arms, ideal for formal applications.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The core of the design is a composite shield, reflecting the amalgamation of the arms of the college's founders. The composition presents the arms within a distinctive border of alternating black and white squares.

Within the shield, the top portion, representing the Gonville arms, displays a chevron positioned between two indented chevronels. These are all rendered in black against a white background, with three gold scallop shells emblazoned on the chevron.

The lower portion incorporates the Caius arms: the area contains the main imagery. This section features a houseleek plant, the sengreen, above two facing serpents. Their tails are intertwined and rest upon a green marble base. Between these serpents lies a closed book. These elements are presented in shades of black and white, offering a striking, stark appearance. The book, in particular, signifies knowledge and scholarship central to the college's mission.

Monochrome Aesthetic

The absence of color in this design adds a layer of formality and a sense of history. The use of only black and white simplifies the complex imagery while maintaining its impact, appropriate for an institution of Gonville and Caius's history.

The overall composition embodies the college's rich heritage, academic values, and enduring presence in Cambridge.

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.
