Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque 1917 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the full and richly detailed design of the Grandes Armes de la Ville de Dunkerque, the official coat of arms of Dunkirk, France, as it appeared in 1917. The design is a vibrant testament to the city's history and valor.

The Shield

The shield itself is divided horizontally (coupé). The upper portion ("chef") is a golden field, boldly displaying the black Flemish lion (lion passant de sable) with its red claws and tongue (armé et lampassé de gueules). This powerfully represents Dunkirk's historical ties to the County of Flanders.

The lower portion ("pointe") is silver, and features a horizontal blue dolphin (couchĂ© d’azur), complete with a red crest and ear (crĂȘtĂ© et oreillĂ© de gueules). This symbolizes the city's fishing heritage and maritime identity, possibly a tribute to the Dauphin of France.

Supporter and Decorations

The shield is supported by a marine man in armor, a "man marin" holding a sword. This figure underscores Dunkirk’s long-standing maritime tradition and port importance.

Below the shield, the Croix de Guerre (Cross of War) with palmes, awarded in 1917, and the LĂ©gion d’Honneur cross (awarded in 1919) are included. The design might also include the Distinguished Service Cross (USA), also from 1919. These represent the honors and valor earned by the city during times of conflict.

Motto

Completing the design is the motto: "1793 – A bien mĂ©ritĂ© de la Patrie" and "Ville hĂ©roĂŻque, sert d’exemple Ă  toute la nation." The first line celebrates Dunkirk's heroic actions, while the second acknowledges the city's designation as a "Heroic city, serves as an example to the whole nation."

This shot glass design is a complex and symbolic artwork, celebrating Dunkirk's proud history, maritime significance, and wartime heroism.

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.
